About this ebook
International secret police operations, drug trafficking, prostitution, and identity theft set the stage for the eternal struggle between Good and Evil.
Acclaimed as one of today’s best contemporary noir writers, Massimo Carlotto reaches new heights in the most complex “Alligator” novel to date. Rich with biting humor, humanity, and psychological insight, this is an exemplary noir novel from a crime writer at the top of his game.
Marco Buratti, a.k.a. the Alligator, and his partners Max the Memory and Beniamino Rossini have fallen into a trap laid by their worst enemy, Giorgio Pellegrini, a wanted man who has no intention of living as a fugitive for the rest of his life and turns state evidence, but something goes wrong. Blackmailed by a high government official, the Alligator and his partners are forced to investigate. But they’ve been framed: even if they discover who’s behind the crime, they’ll rot in prison. To survive, some rules will have to be bent, and others broken.

Reviews for Blues for Outlaw Hearts and Old Whores
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is European Noir at its finest. Burrati, Rossinini and Max the Mouth are well drawn characters who live outside of conventional law and order but have their own version of justice. They are outlaws who live their lives by their own moral code that if it is outside the system so be it.
