"The best living Italian crime writer."-Il Manifesto
An unscrupulous womanizer, as devoid of morals now as he once was full of idealistic fervor, returns to Italy, where he is wanted for a series of crimes. To earn himself the guise of respectability, he is willing to go as far as murder.
Massimo Carlotto, master of the Mediterranean noir-hard-boiled crime novels that call enticing but violent cities like Marseilles, Naples, and Algiers home-and ex-con himself, has gained a reputation as one of the genre's most talented writers. Carlotto's first book, The Fugitive, deals with his time on the run in Latin America. He is author of many novels, including five titles in the extremely popular Alligator series.

From the Publisher:
Giorgio Pellegrini is wanted for a series of crimes linked to political extremism. He has been hiding out in Central America, half-heartedly lending a hand to a group of leftwing militants engaged in a bloody civil war. After the Comandante orders the assassination of Giorgio’s companion, he decides it might just be time to head back home. As devoid of morals now as he once was full of idealistic fervor, Giorgio seems willing to do almost anything to avoid prison, from selling out his old pals in The Movement to cutting deals with crooked cops. But just how far is he willing to go to earn himself the guise of respectability in a society that appears to have lost the values he once defended so fiercely?
About the Author:
Master of Mediterranean noir, hardboiled crime novels that use seductive cities like Marseilles and Naples as characters, Massimo Carlotto is arguably "the best living Italian crime writer" (Il Manifesto). At once a harsh criticism of Italy’s social malaise and a scathing indictment of its political elite, The Goodbye Kiss tells the captivating story of a solitary man with nothing left to lose, nothing to win. Carlotto’s spare narrative style and artful storytelling have won him a vast and loyal readership in Europe. With Giorgio Pellegrini, Massimo Carlotto has created one of the most compelling actors in modern Italian literature and through him, given readers an unsettling portrait of contemporary society.
His latest novel Nordest (Northeast), published in September, is currently the #1 bestseller in Italy.
Massimo Carlotto's first book, an autobiographical novel entitled The Fugitive, deals with his time on the run in Latin America. Carlotto is one of the most important exponents of the Mediterranean Noir novel and has been called an Italian James Ellroy.
