Death's Dark Abyss by Massimo Carlotto

Death's Dark Abyss by Massimo Carlotto

A riveting story of guilt, revenge, and justice, Massimo Carlotto's Death's Dark Abyss tells the tale of two men and the savage crime that irreversibly binds them.

During a bungled robbery atempti, Raffaello Beggiato takes a young woman and her eight-year-old child hostage. He later murders both in cold blood. Beggiato is arrested, tried, and sentenced to life. Undone by his loss, the victims' father and husband, Silvano Contin, plunges into an ever-deepening abyss until the day, fifteen years later, when the murderer seeks his pardon. The wonded Silvano turns predator as he ruthlessly plots his revenge.

Two dramatic stories meet in this stylish, passionate indictment of a legal system that seems powerless either to compensate victims or to rehabilitate perpetrators.

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, Death's Dark Abyss, Poisonville, Bandit Love, and the forthcoming At the End of a Dull Day. One of Italy's 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. His novels have been translated into many languages, enjoying enormous success outside of Italy, and several have been made into highly acclaimed films.

Mediterranean Noir packs plenty of plot into a slim volume, with space set aside for elaborate northeast Italian meals, musings on women, and plenty of Calvados drinking. - The Daily Beast on The Master of Knots

Carlotto's taut, broody Mediterranean noir is filled with blind corners and savage set pieces. - The New Yorker on At the End of a Dull Day

Beneath the conventions of Continental noir is a remarkable study of corruption and redemption in a world where revenge is best served ice-cold. Kirkus (starred review) on Death's Dark Abyss

Marco Videtta is a well-known screenwriter and the author of several successful Italian television series. Poisonville is his first novel.
