Poisonville

This bestselling noir novel features murder, moral ambiguity, and a protagonist who is hardly heroic. In this thriller, however, the killer is not an individual but an entire system.

Massimo Carlotto was born in Padua, Italy. He is the author of The Goodbye Kiss (nominated for the Mystery Writers of America-'s prestigious Edgar Allan Poe award), Death-'s Dark Abyss, and The Fugitive, an autobiographical account of his time on the run after being falsely accused of murder. He is one of Italy-'s most popular authors and a major exponent of the Mediterranean noir novel.

Marco Videtta is a well-known screenwriter and the author of several successful Italian television series. Poisonville, written with Massimo Carlotto, is his first novel. He is the author of a new novel, an historical noir entitled Un bell-'avvenire.
