Padua, Italy. An unremarkable man disappears without a trace. One woman knows there is more to his disappearance than another bored suburban husband running out on his family, but fears that coming forward will compromise her position. Stricken by guilt, she finally confides in a lawyer who advises her to turn to Marco Buratti, aka the Alligator. Initially, the case of the woman's missing lover seems like a lost cause, but a clue puts the Alligator and his trusted associates on the trail of the unscrupulous and brilliant criminal, Giorgio Pellegrini.

"An instance of criminals in pursuit of criminals, this is a shaded caper and an earnest investigation into the nature of evil that reads like a runaway train, and confirms Carlotto as equal to any of the English-writing czars of noir."
--LoveReading
Massimo Carlotto was born in Padua, Italy. In addition to the many titles in his extremely popular Alligator series, he is also the author of The Fugitive, Death's Dark Abyss, Poisonville, Bandit Love, and At the End of a Dull Day.
