“If I were a writer from Marseille, I would write Marseille Confidential”.
That was the gauntlet that James Ellroy threw down in person to François Thomazeau. Challenge skilfully met, with a novel that draws readers into the seamy sides of the Mediterranean capital in the 1930s.
Marseille, April 1936. A week before the legislative elections, Antoine Cardella is shot and killed on a working-class street, halfway between the Socialist candidate’s campaign headquarters and those of the far-right leader.

A week before the legislative elections, Antoine Cardella is shot and killed on a working-class street, halfway between the Socialist candidate’s campaign headquarters and those of the far-right leader. Who stands to benefit the most from the murder of a Corsican cop who was known for his cronyism? Everyone and no one, because arrangements, racketeering and feuds were legion and inextricably intertwined in a political labyrith. In that troubled period, politicians, thugs and corrupt cops were laying the foundations of the Mafia-based system that reigns in Marseille to this day. Just as James Ellroy did with Los Angeles, François Thomazeau
takes us through the seamy sides of this major Mediterranean city, for a remarkable noir novel.
