The Fugitive
<p>"Carlotto is the reigning king of Mediterranean noir."-<em>The Boston Phoenix</em></p> <p>After serving years in jail for a crime he didn't commit, Massimo Carlotto received a presidential pardon in 1993. The first book he wrote as a free man was <em>The Fugitive,</em> telling of his years on the run from a politically motivated murder charge. This gritty tale takes readers from the French underworld to a Mexico besieged by guerrilla warfare. Virtually a handbook on how to live life on the lam, <em>The Fugitive</em> is also a vibrant novel full of vivid underworld characters and breathtaking moments that Carlotto recounts in the cool, lucid prose that has become his trademark.</p>
