Synopsis
A noir thriller par excellence - there's murder, moral ammbiguity and a protagonist less than heroic. The heavyly industrialised northeast of Italy is undergoing dramatic change. What once drove the nation's economic boom is now fast becoming a wasteland. It's not infested by organised crime and an ongoing environmental catalstrophe. Welocome to Poisonville. Here, young lawyer Francesco, heir to the region's second-richest family, will have to decide between business as usual or a violent rupture with the ways of the past...

Review
"Whoever begins this book must necessarily finish it-it cannot be abandoned halfway through. And whoever finishes it will never forget it-it's a book that doesn't easily fade from one's memory."- "La Stampa"
"Poisonville is a black fable that exposes that dark side of the wealth that has been generated over the last few decades . . . As always, Carlotto entrusts his brand of noir with an important role: that of revealing the truth, of denouncing wrongdoings, of informing the public.""-Il Mattino"
"Corruption, Cynicism. Illegality. Collusion. The world of business described by Massimo Carlotto in Poisonville is frightening as hell." "-La Repubblica"
