Thanks to everybody for their comments.
I've ordered Sciascia's "To Each His Own".
Luca's description of Scerbanenco (the Italian Woolrich!)
grabbed me. Unfortunately it doesn't appear that much of
Wulricci's work has been translated into English (stacks in
German, but my German isn't up to the task these days). I did
manage to track down a copy of "Duca and the Milan Murders"
in English. If Scerbanenco is any good, and not too
colloquial, I might try to learn Italian. As Luca says,
Italian noir is a "very prolific" genre. I might even
emigrate...
Describing Izzo, Etienne said, "His first novel of this
genre: 'Total Kh鯰s' (title could be translated as : Total
Chaos) is a first class novel, very noir, pessimistic and
tough." And, yes, it's orderable. Published by Eurocrime
under the title "One Helluva Mess".
Yasmina Khadra's "Wolf Dreams" will be out in English in
June.
Thanks again for the wealth of info.
