[Al Capwned · Rating 4 out of 5]

Those gangster/noir scenarios are always intriguing. This book contains two of them, one taking place in Chicago and one in Marseilles. Some characters and part of the story may seem a bit cliché but that's exactly what makes creating the right atmosphere an easier task and maybe give you the feeling that you are part of your favourite gangster film.
