About the Book
A gripping true-crime exposé of one of the world's largest crime syndicates.Book Synopsis
A century before the emergence of its cousin, the Sicilian mafia, the criminal organisation known as 'The Camorra' was establishing a deadly grip on Naples and Southern Italy. Its influence today is as strong as ever.
