About the Book

Tres jóvenes italianos desaparecen durante un viaje a las islas Solovkí, en el Mar Blanco, donde el mal duerme, silenciosamente, debajo del hielo.

La nueva revelación de la novela negra italiana.

El Mar Blanco es de un negro aterrador, un negro que se mezcla al del cielo, al viento helado que entra en las grietas de los barcos, en los hogares y en los corazones de los hombres. Es un mar embravecido, hostil, en medio del cual las islas Solovkí permanecen sumergidas en la niebla. Los tres amigos florentinos que salieron rumbo a ese antiguo gulag soviético para restaurar un monasterio en una misión de la Unesco nunca regresaron.

Mientras que la policía rusa e italiana favorecen la hipótesis de una muerte accidental, Alessandro Capace, periodista independiente o más bien escritor fracasado, viaja al lugar para intentar desvelar la verdad. ¿Huyeron los jóvenes o alguien los hizo desaparecer? ¿Eran realmente amigos? ¿Y qué relación guarda su muerte con el pasado de violencia e injusticia de las islas, donde durante décadas el mal se ha conservado, adormilado como un virus?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This is the new revelation in Italian noir fiction genre.

Three young Italian guys disappear from a trip to the Solovetsky islands in the White Sea, there where evil quietly rests underneath the ice.


The White Sea is a frightening color black, a sort of black that blends with the sky, one that blends with the icy wind that enters ships' crevices, people's homes, and their hearts. It is a raging, hostile sea, in the midst of which the Solovetsky islands linger submerged inside its fog.

The three friends from Florence who went to that old Soviet gulag to restore a monastery on a Unesco mission, never returned. While the Russian and Italian police learn towards an accidental death theory, Alessandro Capace, an independent journalist or rather a frustrated writer, travels to the scene to try to unmask the truth.

Did they run away or did they mysteriously disappear? Were they really friends? And, what link is there between their deaths and the island's past of violence and injustice, where for decades, evil has remained dormant like a virus.
