Synopsis
An unscrupulous womanizer, as devoid of morals as he once was full of idealistic fervour, returns to Italy where he is wanted for a series of political crimes.
To avoid prison he sells out his old friends, turns his back on his former ideals, and cuts deals with crooked cops.
To achieve the guise of respectability he is willing to go even further, maybe even as far as murder.

External Reviews
“Carlotto is the reigning king of Mediterranean noir.” - The Boston Phoenix.
"More than merely hard-boiled, his novels are sexy, seedy, cynical and nihilistic, but with moments of idealism." - London Review of Books.
"It's lean, mean and violent and Carlotto offers an unflinching and unflattering view of modern Italy." - The Independent.
"Carlotto's books are as interesting as the man himself . . . His latest story of prostitution, drug dealers and corruption gives us an indication of why he is so highly regarded." - The Irish Independent.
"A superb storyteller, one of the best there is . . . He is a master of the tautly-written crime thriller." - Lo Straniero (Italy)"
