"Pity was a feeling that belonged to another life, before death had put mine under wraps."
If you like neo-noir fiction that is lean, mean and relentlessly dark, then Massimo Carlotto's stunning novel, "Death's Dark Abyss" is for you. Through his characters and their actions, the author eviscerates traditional notions of good and evil--those are standards that simply have no meaning in this tale of dark revenge, relentless hate, and the impossibilities of justice set in modern Italy. ...

"Life on the run is like the blues; it's a state of mind."
When I first came across the novels of Italian crime writer, Massimo Carlotto, he instantly became a great favourite. "Death's Dark Abyss" and "The Goodbye Kiss" are both incredibly dark crime novels, some of the best noir I've read recently. But there was something about these two novels that I couldn't quite put my finger on.... I decided there was something 'different' about the author. This ...
