Book Description
Ottavio Cappellani's wildly entertaining Mafia comedy takes us into the unhinged world of a family that makes the Sopranos look like the Waltons. As blood-red as a good bottle of Sicilian wine, Who Is Lou Sciortino? is an exhilarating debut from one of Italy's brightest young talents. Growing up on the streets of New York, young Lou Sciortino learned many lessons from his grandfather, Don Lou: that whiners are fools; that in order to get respect from other people, you sometimes have to whack a guy; and that the movie business is a perfect place to make dirty money clean. So when young Lou is set up as the head of Starship Pictures, everybody's happy. That is, until the day a rival Mafia family plants a bomb in their offices. Nobody's happy after that, especially not Don Lou, who decides to send his grandson to Sicily to stay out of danger; after all, a really nice, decent person like Lou just doesn't take part in Mafia warfare. Not long after young Lou goes to work for Uncle Sal Scali—a hapless Mafia boss from Catania who can't even keep the peace in his own neighborhood—a cop is killed during a routine robbery and young Lou is chosen to bring the situation under control. But there's someone else Sal has to reckon with: Lou's grandfather. Don Lou doesn't like the way things are shaping up in Sicily, and decides it's time he paid one last visit to the old country. That's when the bullets really start to fly.

Book Description
Entre mafiosos arrepentidos, lujosas fiestas privadas y alegres barbacoas familiares donde las apariencias ciertamente engañan, la acción de esta novela transcurre a un ritmo trepidante entre Nueva York y Catania, con la inestimable participación de un elenco de personajes asombrosos que lleva el hilo de los acontecimientos hasta el límite de lo verosímil. Todo empieza cuando el «gran Lou» —respetable capo de la ciudad de los rascacielos— envía a su nieto Lou Sciortino a «descansar» a Sicilia tras el bombazo que destruyó la productora de cine administrada por el joven aspirante a gánster. Sin embargo, lo último que encuentra Lou en Catania es paz y tranquilidad. La muerte violenta de un policía en la tienda del «tío Mimmo», un lúgubre tugurio de la zona más degradada de la ciudad, desencadena una serie de acontecimientos que desembocarán en un embrollo mayúsculo donde todos moverán sus piezas. El «tío Sal», supuesto protector de Lou, intenta utilizarlo para encubrir al zoquete de Nick, el mejor amigo del impagable peluquero Tony Scali, cuyas primas casaderas, Valentina y Mindy, le han echado el ojo, respectivamente, a Nick y Lou, cosa que contradice los planes matrimoniales que el «tío Sal» ha dispuesto para las dos alegres jóvenes. El enredo cobra tal dimensión que el «gran Lou» se ve obligado a intervenir para salvar a su ingenuo nieto y dejar claroquién manda en la desaforada familia transoceánica.

Book Description
Open City is an historical work detailing and analyzing the birth and growth of an organized crime "family" in Kansas City during the first 50 years of the 20th Century. It began with a Mafia-like clan labeled the Black Hand, its roots planted in the secret crime societies of Southern Italy and Sicily - a band of extortionists victimizing the city's "Little Italy" community in the early 1900s. From modest beginnings, the development of the criminal outfit is traced through prohibition, its alliance with the Pendergast Machine, the roaring 20s, Home Rule, the wide open 30s, the birth of La Cosa Nostra, and hard times in the 50s. It is the story of Kansas City, politics, powerful and colorful mob bosses, gangland murders, racket activities, and courageous police officers and reformers. Book jacket.
