About this title

Synopsis:

A portrait of Sicilian mafia head Bernardo Provenzano traces his rise from humble origins to the top of Italy's organized crime organization, in an account that also offers insight into the mob's interference in everyday life in La Cosa Nostra throughout recent decades.

Review:

'Perceptive ... Longrigg traces Provenzano's rise from stealing barrels of pecorino cheese in Corleone in the 1950s to the top of Cosa Nostra' (New Statesman)

'Fascinating ... Longrigg avoids the usual pitfalls Mafia chroniclers are susceptible to' (London Lite)

'In this thrilling history ... (Longrigg) meticulously traces the career of the man known as "the Accountant"' (Sunday Times)

'Authoritative and absorbing' (Guardian)

Longrigg treats her subject seriously, a relief from the melodrama that dangerously trivialises so much Mafia literature (Sunday Telegraph)
