Vigilante journalist Roberto Saviano 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, Saviano worked undercover in his native city in Camorra-controlled factories, construction sites and even as a waiter at a mob wedding. He recalls seeing his first murder at the age of 14, and how his own father, a doctor, suffered a brutal beating for trying to aid an 18 year old victim who had been left for dead in the street. | | Keywords: | 'Camorra'
