Description

 							Massimo Carlotto
  
  You couldn't make it up. A schoolboy starts thinking about politics at a very
young age, joins the local boy scouts and turns ultra-left. In Padova, north east Italy, in the late 1960s, the boy
scouts were a hotbed of radicalism.
  
  By the age of 13, he is active in the Lotta Continua, a left-wing
group, and becomes a reporter for its weekly newspaper. At 19, during Italy's 'years of lead', when political tensions
were at their highest, he witnesses a brutal murder. Margherita Magello, a 25-year-old student, is stabbed 59 times and
our teenager, covered in blood from trying to save her, runs to fetch the police. They arrest him and accuse him of the
killing. Three years later, after he has been acquitted, retried and convicted - there is no double jeopardy in Italian
law - he is sentenced to 18 years. He goes on the run to France, then Mexico City.
  
  For six years, he is
sheltered, fed and educated by political activists before giving himself up back in Italy. He is beaten, tortured and
spends the next seven years in prison, mostly in maximum security in Milan, Turin and Padova, with some of the country's
most hardened criminals.
  
  His battle with the courts becomes one of the most famous cases in Italian law:
80 judges and magistrates are involved; he is tried and retried 11 times; the case drags on for 18 years; his legal
paperwork weighs 96 kilos. Eventually, after an international campaign, a Scotland Yard expert says the forensic
procedures used in the case are 20 years out of date and the President of Italy pardons him.
  
  As a free
man, he turns to writing. After an autobiography, newspaper articles, essays, and plays, he turns to crime writing,
inventing a character based on himself called the 'Alligator', an unlicensed investigator who drinks too much calvados
and drives a Skoda.
  
  Two of his books are made into films, and a third, The Dark Immensity of Death,
produced by Aurelio De Laurentiis, is on the way. He has a huge following in Italy and France and is about to test the
British market. He now lives in Quartu Sant'Elena, just outside Cagliari, in Sardinia with his wife, Colomba, and
two-year-old son Giovanni. 'I'll make sure I send him to the scouts,' he says, laughing.
  
  You couldn't
make it up. You wouldn't have to because that, in brief, is the life story of Massimo Carlotto.
  
  
  Book Description:
  
  When Massimo
Carlotto's hard-boiled noir novel, The Goodbye Kiss begins, Giorgio Pellegrini is a fugitive living in South America. He
fled Italy in the 70s after his involvement with the Red Brigades--now he's in his 30s and he's engaged in guerrilla
warfare. One night, he's ordered to execute his friend, a fellow expatriate, and at that point Pellegrini decides it's
time to return to Italy. Now just in case you imagine that Pellegrini feels "bad" about killing his friend, think again.
Pellegrini doesn't feel bad about anything. In fact he admits that he enjoys killing.
  
  Returning to Italy
as a fugitive, he strikes a deal with former comrades, but the deal puts him under the thumb of the corrupt--but
elegant--detective Ferruccio Anedda. Surviving in prison--mainly through hustling the services of a transvestite inmate,
Pellegrini is finally released. But he never intended to be just another working stiff. Drawn to elegant, expensive
clothes, and fine restaurants, Pellegrini wants to live the good life that only an aura of respectability can bring. But
for that he needs money....
  
  Throughout his criminal career, Pellegrini possesses an innate talent for
selecting desperate women who will enable his plans--someone slightly older than him, lonely and shopworn, and he
admits, "I was drawn to forty-year-olds. The thought of worming my way into their lives and toying with their weak spots
made my head spin." Too detached to be truly sadistic, Pellegrini leaves a trail of female victims behind on his climb
to success and respectability. With the protagonist Giorgio Pellegrini, author Carlotta creates one of noir fiction's
darkest characters. Devoid of any scruples, compassion or guilt, and guided only by desire and self-preservation,
Pellegrini negotiates his world with a few principles--women are tools to get what you want, "no witness, no risk," and
when it comes to killing "pick the easiest, quickest and cleanest method."
  
  With the help of a corrupt
lawyer, Pellegrini strategically plots his way towards "rehabilitation." According to Italian law, Pellegrini will be
considered fully rehabilitated if he lives the respectable life of a model citizen for a period of five years. But this
new life means that Pellegrini is now slightly higher on the food chain, and he has criminal opportunities that were not
open to him before. Pellegrini rather likes his new life, and when his past comes back to haunt him, he's prepared to do
whatever is necessary to preserve it. It's Pellegrini's savvy ability to morph that makes this book such a phenomenal,
riveting read. His strategic thinking--unfettered by morality and emotion--kept this reader eagerly turning pages until
this astonishingly dark novel's nihilistic conclusion.
