During the final days of Silvio Berlusconi's reign a massive development proposal that will turn Ostia into a gambling paradise a Las Vegas on the Mediterranean is winding its way through the Italian legislature thanks to the sponsorship of politicians in the pay of crime syndicates with vested interests. In short it's business as usual in the Italian capital. But a vicious gang of local thugs loyal to nobody but themselves is insisting on a bigger cut than agreed upon. They argue their case quite convincingly but the Mafia and their political puppets aren't likely to back down without a fight. De Cataldo and Bonini have created a compelling provocative portrait of contemporary Rome-a city prey to pitiless criminal factions and political opportunism. A fast-paced and atmospheric work of crime fiction Suburra rivals the best novels by writers such as Denis Lehane Richard Price and George Pelecanos and successful series like The Wire and The Night Of.
