Carlotto's first and most autobiographical novel, Il fuggiasco (Fugitive) was made into a film in 2003. Since then, he has written eight other novels, several plays, and countless newspaper articles and essays. Film versions are currently being made of two of his most recent novels (Arrivederci amore, ciao and L'immensa oscurità della morte).

Carlotto also acts as a consultant to criminal lawyers, assisting them in cases involving organized crime, political intrigue, and state intelligence. Recently, Massimo has collaborated on a couple of graphic novels and written a crime series for Italian radio.
