A century before the emergence of its cousin, the Sicilian Mafia, the criminal organization known as “The Camorra” was establishing a deadly grip on Naples and Campania. Today, their influence is as strong as ever. Tom Behan’s vivid and riveting account of the Camorra and its shadowy leaders reveals a crime syndicate of extraordinary power and resources. The are involved in the major political parties, the police, judiciary, administrators, and leading figures in the business community. Behan shows how all levels of the Italian state—including the judiciary—are so corrupt and in hock to the Camorra, that all reformist solutions are bankrupt.
