«Malavita» is the black-humoured crime novel by Tonino Benacquista, published by Lengua de Trapo in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
A clan of American mobsters settles in a village in Normandy as protected witnesses: Fred, Maggie, their children Belle and Warren and the dog Malavita try to fit in, but their old habits and their past complicate things. Benacquista combines black humour and a brisk pace in a story about family and the difficulty of escaping the past.
This edition, the third title in the QxQ (Quince por Quince) collection, offers the translation from French signed by José Luis Sánchez-Silva.
For readers looking for crime fiction with black humour, the back cover presents this work as a European version of The Sopranos.
