“The Amsterdam Experiment” a novel by Alex Gallo

Raw Earth Ink is proud to present Alex Gallo’s debut novel, The Amsterdam Experiment.

From the back: Through thick and thin, Victor Diaz and Carlo Gervasi have been the best of friends. Growing up and living in New York isn’t for the faint of heart, and they are living testaments to that fact. Each man having been raised in very different neighborhoods and lifestyles still somehow manage to keep each other afloat. Victor has the ideal life: a beautiful wife, loving children, and a flourishing career. But that all comes to a crashing halt when he discovers his wife has been cheating on him with another man.

Carlo’s life isn’t going any easier either. His lifelong addiction to pills has taken complete control of his existence and Victor is the only true friend he has to cling to. As the two men spiral out of control, they decide to make a clean break: an uninhibited vacation in Amsterdam to sow their final wild oats. Drugs, parties, and women to clear their heads before starting with a fresh slate. It seems too good to be true when Victor receives confirmation of getting an all-expenses-paid trip, no strings attached, from a wealthy heiress named Isabelle Kent.

Upon arriving to their destination, both Victor and Carlo can’t believe their good luck, which finally seems to have changed. A beautiful woman. Copious amounts of drugs. And a mansion they are free to roam. What begins as a dream come true, starts to unravel as both men vie for Isabelle’s affections, pushing their long-standing friendship to the test. Are they experimenting with a new life or has Amsterdam set up an experiment on them? Only time and circumstance will tell if friendship truly is stronger than lust.
