Gomorrah: Italy’s Other Mafia

Roberto Saviano

Translated by Virginia Jewiss Pan,

424 pages, R399

First published in translation in 2008, this is a new edition of Saviano’s famous exposé of Naples’s organised crime network, Camorra. Known by insiders as ‘the System’, the Camorra has large stakes in construction, faux high fashion, narcotics and toxic waste disposal, and exerts a deathly grip on cities and villages along the western coast of Italy.
