Description

In the spring of 2006, what began as a reporter's investigation of Neapolitan organized crime made international news headlines. Vigilante journalist Roberto Savino compiled the most thorough account to date of the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia, which exerts a malign influence on contemporary Italy. At great personal risk, Savino worked undercover in his native city in Camorra-controlled factories, construction sities his first murder at the age of fourteen, annd how his own father, a doctor, suffered a brutal beating for trying to aid an eighteen-year-old victim who had been left for dead in the street.
