Description
A searing journey into the world of the Sicilian mafia, Lupara bianca (White Shotgun) is an Italian term that refers to a Mafia-style killing, in which no trace of the victim can be found. Prize-winning Sicilian journalist Attilio Bolzoni has reported on the shadowy activities of Cosa Nostra for 30 years. This book is a powerful anthology of rare interviews, court proceedings, and transcripts of phone taps that capture the essence of this hidden secret society. It provides a history of modern Sicilian crime and an explanation of the twisted logic and language of Cosa Nostra, from the "traditional" Mafia of the early 20th Century to the "Maxi" show-trials of the 1980s and beyond. This portrait includes the most humble foot soldiers, famous pentiti (snitches), and top-level Bosses who live by a code of silence.
