From Hong Kong to Moscow, Salford to New Jersey, Tokyo to Sicily, Federico Varese, Professor of Criminology at Oxford University, reveals the essence of Mafia Life in his intense and compelling book. We see mafias as vast, powerful organisations, harvesting billions of dollars across the globe, wrapping their tentacles around everything from governments to finance. But is this the truth?
Travelling in search of answers, Federico Varese in conversation with Sicilian expert, Professor Joseph Farrell, will take us into the real world of organised crime, where mafia henchmen worry about their bad managers, where assassinations are bungled as often as they come off, and where increasing pressure from law enforcement means that a life of crime is no longer lived in the lap of luxury. As our world changes, so must the mafia.
