Inspired by Carlotto's own experience on the run from a prison sentence for a crime he didn't commit, this gritty, authentic tale takes readers on a journey that passes through the French underworld to a Mexico riddled by warfare.
Massimo Carlotto was born in Padua, Italy. In addition to the many titles in his extremely popular Alligator series, he is also the author of The Fugitive, Deaths Dark Abyss, Poisonville, Bandit Love, and At the End of a Dull Day. One of Italys most popular authors and a major exponent of the Mediterranean Noir novel, Carlotto has been compared with many of the most important American hardboiled crime writers. Antony Shugaar is the author of I Lie for a Living and Latitude Zero: Tales of the Equator. For Europa Editions he has translated among others novels by Massimo Carlotto, Stefano Benni, Domenico Starnone, and Carmine Abate.
