Originally published in Italy in 2017, and translated by Will Schutt, this new installment of the “Alligator” series begins when ex-con and private eye Marco Buratti, aka “the Alligator,” falls into a trap laid by his nemesis. He and his partners, Max the Memory and Beniamino Rossini, are blackmailed and framed as they begin to investigate what is afoot—and they don’t have long to untangle the many knots fettering them before they are ensnared for good.
