Antonella Amoruso, senior deputy of Milan's anti-terrorism police, receives a call to return to her Naples hometown for the funeral of a family member murdered in a Camorra clan feud.
Amoruso is plunged into the dangerous culture of Camorra, Naples’ violent criminal syndicate, that thrives on illegal drugs, prostitution, extortion, and murder. Antonella's goal is to rescue her family from Camorra's deadly grip.
The third installment of Jack Erickson’s Milan Thriller Series does not disappoint. Full of suspense, tension and family drama, Erickson keeps the reader engaged throughout the one-week timeline of the story. Perhaps the best part is how Napoli becomes its own character in the book as we are thrust into the dark and dangerous side of the famous Italian city.
