A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is the true story of Totò Riina, the Cosa Nostra boss who rose from nothing to become the most powerful man in Sicily. The picture emerges of a bloodthirsty, power-hungry monster who, despite his lowly beginnings, is able to outmanoeuvre the other Mafia chiefs and take control of the organisation. However, the story is not just that of Riina, but also of Sicily itself. D'Avanzo and Bolzoni have transformed a complex series of events spanning several decades into a gripping narrative.

In prison for 18 years now, Totò Riina still remains the dictator of the Cosa Nostra. This book tells the haunting and disturbing tale, with thorough investigation and testimony of the Sicilian Corleone.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Giuseppe D'Avanzo was a journalist and writer; he was deputy director and columnist at the Italian LA REPUBBLICA newspaper, as well as author of a series of investigative reports that have marked the political history of Italy, as well as investigating international cases such as the Litvinenko case.
