Creator and founder of Italian literary fiction movement, Sugarpulp, Matteo is also the artistic director of the Sugarpulp Festival - an international event focused on crime and popular fiction - as well as being line editor of Revolver, a crime fiction imprint of Edizioni BD. Matteo earned a PhD in European Law of Contracts at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice and lives between Padua and Berlin with his wife Silvia.
A Maxim Jakubowski selected title. Strukul is one of the leading stars of the Italian 'Sugarpulp' movement: think Quentin Tarantino meets Jack Reacher, directed by Sergio Leone. This is an unadulterated guilty pleasure of non-stop bloody action that begs to be exposed on the silver screen. Gang wars in the Veneto are the setting for a grisly tale of revenge featuring Mila Zago, an avenging angel of an assassin on the retribution trail following the slaughter of her father and her own violation. The pace is breathless and it's no surprise to hear this was adapted as a prize-winning comic book in Italy. A sexy heroine, colourful villains, guns and swords galore, a breathless cocktail of witty violence,what more can you ask for?
