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.
