The Colombian Mule | Massimo Carlotto

2 posts | 2 read

When Colombian Arias Cuevas is caught trying to smuggle drugs through Venice airport, his fear isn't fuelled by the idea of prison. He's much more frightened of his aunt—it was her coke he took off with. He comes clean to avoid her wrath. The cops set up a sting to find out who was to be the recipient of the drugs, and art smuggler Nazzareno Corradi falls straight into the trap. But he's been set up. His lawyer hires "the Alligator," and his fixer, Max, to find out what's going on. Soon it becomes apparent why Cuevas was so afraid—the aunt, La Tia, has left a bloody trail in her wake, and is now looking to do some business in Italy, and she's not about to let anybody get in her way.

The Colombian Mule | Massimo Carlotto

so-so

A private detective called the 'Alligator' investigates a crime for a client who has been wrongly jailed, with the help of two underworld friends and much Calvados. Noir style, imagine a gritty voice-over and B&W film. Quite a male outlook, violence, women as sex objects, though the Colombian drug queen La Tia is interesting. Taut but functional writing. I half-guessed the plot so it lacked tension. Realistic & based on his life in part.

No #readathon for me this weekend as I entered #fictionwar so had to write a 1000 word story instead (my first). Whew! Treated myself to a noir #bookhaul ... The investigator in this one is called The Alligator.
