Excellent Cadavers

“A fascinating and horrifying book” – Denis Mack Smith New York Times “As good as non-fiction books get: it is crammed with detail and analysis, but reads like a novel” – Marc Babej Guardian “The very best on the modern mafia - brilliantly and thoughtfully telling a complex and messy tale… The characterisation and the twists of the plot have the deft touch of a novelist” – Robert Fox Sunday Telegraph “Totally absorbing and distinctly chilling” – Barry Unsworth Evening Standard, Books of the Year “Diligently researched and fluently written” – Diego Gambetta Independent
