Description
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. This account of the organisation and its shadowy leaders reveals a crime syndicate of extraordinary power and resources: it involves the major political parties, along with the police, judiciary, administrators and leading figures in the business community.
