World Noir Has Arrived!

Europa's World Noir imprint has officially launched!

We soft launched the series back in February with Gene Kerrigan's THE RAGE, which quickly became a bestseller and was named one of the year's best crime novels by Booklist. Today, we're releasing an exciting group of crime novels, including Jean-Claude Izzo's legendary MARSEILLES TRILOGY (TOTAL CHAOS, CHOURMO, SOLEA), Maurizio de Giovanni's BLOOD CURSE (the second book in the acclaimed Commissario Ricciardi series), Benjamin Tammuz's riveting MINOTAUR, and Massimo Carlotto's gritty AT THE END OF A DULL DAY.

These extraordinary titles have already been receiving a lot of attention. The Times Literary Supplement called the MARSEILLES TRILOGY "noir at its finest: compelling, sophisticated literature with a biting social edge." Kirkus Reviews described the "provocative" MINOTAUR as "an empty canvas that's teasingly filled in with skill and style" and praised AT THE END OF A DULL DAY's "machine-gun pace" and "refreshing absence of anything approaching a moral vision."
