In anticipation of our World Noir launch on May 7, we'll be posting chapters of Massimo Carlotto's
DEATH'S DARK ABYSS twice a week on our
World Noir Tumblr. Carlotto proves himself to be "the master of Mediterranean noir" with this "dark, twisted tale of retribution" (Library Journal).
DEATH'S DARK ABYSS follows the lives of two men bound together by a brutal crime. During an attempted robbery, Raffaello Beggiato takes a young woman and her son hostage and then murders them in cold blood. Fifteen years into his life sentence in prison, Beggiato asks the victims' husband and father, Silvano Contin, for his pardon. But Silvano, blinded by anger and grief, will stop at nothing to finally get revenge on Beggiato and his accomplice.
The chilling prologue is online now! Check back often for new chapters as well as World Noir news, giveaways, and more.
