Book excerpt: An electrifying, internationally bestselling investigation of the global cocaine trade now a series on Prime Video starring Andrea Riseborough, Dane DeHaan, and Gabriel Byrne, from the author of the #1 international bestseller Gomorrah “Zero zero zero” flour is the finest, whitest available. It is also the nickname among narcotraffickers for the purest cocaine on the market. And it is the title of Roberto Saviano’s unforgettable exploration of the inner workings of the global cocaine trade—its rules and armies, and the true depth of its reach into the world economy. Saviano’s Gomorrah, his explosive account of the Neapolitan mob, the Camorra, was a worldwide sensation. It struck such a nerve with the Camorra that Saviano has lived with twenty-four-hour police protection for more than eight years. During this time he has come to know law enforcement agencies and officials around the world. With their cooperation, Savaiano has broadened his perspective to take in the entire global “corporate” entity that is the drug trade and the complex money-laundering operations that allow it to function, often with the help of the world’s biggest banks. The result is a harrowing and groundbreaking synthesis of literary narrative and geopolitical analysis exploring one of the most powerful dark forces in our economy. Saviano tracks the shift in the cocaine trade’s axis of power, from Colombia to Mexico, and relates how the Latin American cartels and gangs have forged alliances with crime syndicates across the globe. He charts the increasing sophistication of these criminal entities as they diversify into other products and markets. He also reveals the astonishing increase in the severity of violence as they have fought to protect and extend their power. Saviano is a writer and journalist of rare courage and a thinker of impressive intellectual depth, able to see connections between far-flung phenomena and bind them into a single epic story. Most drug-war narratives feel safely removed from our own lives; Saviano offers no such comfort. Both heart-racing and eye-opening, ZeroZeroZero is an investigative story like none other. Praise for ZerZeroZero: “[Saviano] has developed a literary style that switches from vivid descriptions of human depravity to a philosophical consideration of the meaning of violence in the modern world. . . . Most important of all is the hope Saviano gives to countless victims of criminal violence by standing up to its perpetrators.” —Financial Times
Download or read book Savage Kiss written by Roberto Saviano and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roberto Saviano returns to the streets of Naples and the boy bosses who run them in Savage Kiss, the hotly anticipated follow-up to The Piranhas, the bestselling novel and major motion picture Nicolas Fiorillo and his gang of children—his paranza—control the squares of Forcella after their rapid rise to power. But it isn't easy being at the top. Now that the Piranhas have power in the city, Nicolas must undermine the old families of the Camorra and remain united among themselves. Every paranzino has his own vendettas and dreams to pursue—dreams that might go beyond the laws of the gang. A new war may be about to break out in this city of cutthroat bargaining, ruthless betrayal, and brutal revenge. Saviano continues the story of the disillusioned boys of Forcella, the paranzini ready to give and receive kisses that leave a taste of blood. Saviano’s Gomorrah was a worldwide sensation, and The Piranhas, called “raw and shocking” by The New York Times Book Review, captured readers with its tale of raw criminal ambition, told with “openhearted rashness” (Elena Ferrante). Savage Kiss, which again draws on the skills of translator Antony Shugaar, is the latest thrilling installment from the brilliant Italian novelist.

Sample Book Insights: #1 The people who use cocaine are right next to you. The police officer who is about to pull you over has been snorting for years, and everyone knows it. #2 I was asked to write about a speech that had been recorded on an iPhone at a meeting. The police wanted to know if the story went the way the young man said it had, or if it had been staged. #3 The police officer told me that the young man, his informant, had heard the only valuable lesson - how to be in the world - and had recorded it on the sly. If I wrote about it and nobody did anything, it would prove that the young man was telling the truth. #4 The police officer read me the transcript he’d made. They’d met in a room not far from where we were, randomly seated, not in a horseshoe like they do at ritual initiations. The old Italian began speaking without even introducing himself.

Book excerpt: It's autumn in Maine again. Maine once again blanketed in red. Not by the leaves. Not by the lobsters. Not by the sunrise...but by the blood of eight young women. Former homicide detective Thomas Prescott is reluctant to read the bestselling book "Eight in October," a true-crime thriller based on a string of murders occurring throughout October of the past year. After all, it was his case, and he doesn't need to be reminded of the gruesome details. "The New York Times" dubbed the serial killer, Tristen Grayer, "THE MAINEIAC." Grayer is allegedly dead, but only Prescott knows the truth--Grayer is alive and lurking in the shadows. On October 1st, the anniversary of the first murder, Tristen resurfaces, killing someone special from Prescott's past. Suddenly, it's "dé jà vu" for Prescott--except this time--the women closest to him begin to fall victim at the hands of Grayer. With the help of his former flame, medical examiner Dr. Caitlin Dodds, and "Eight in October" author, Alex Tooms, Prescott must race against the clock to stop Tristen from completing his encore. But time is running out...

Book excerpt: Roberto Saviano's bestseller Zero zero zero, nu weer verkrijgbaar Zero zero zero vertelt het onvergetelijke verhaal over hoe de verkoop en het gebruik van cocaïne de afgelopen decennia zowel de zwarte markt als de legale economie heeft veranderd en een enorme invloed heeft op alle mensen wereldwijd. Van Mexicaanse kartels tot Engelse financiers, Guatemalteekse huurlingen tot Oekraïense krijgsheren, en Italiaanse mensenhandelaars tot de handelaren op Wall Street die het geld witwassen. Door verhalen, interviews, telefoontaps en zijn eigen ervaringen met de onderwereld met elkaar te verweven, onthult bestsellerauteur Roberto Saviano een internationale narcostaat die nu de pijler is van onze wereldeconomie. Het is de perfecte vorm van het moderne kapitalisme, waar alles voor het oprapen ligt – en alles wordt verteerd, geruïneerd en vernietigd. Vertaling: Jan van der Haar Roberto Saviano is schrijver, onderzoeksjournalist en publicist. Hij brak in 2006 internationaal door met de bestseller Gomorra, waarin hij verslag deed van de Napolitaanse onderwereld. Daarnaast schreef hij verschillende andere boeken over criminaliteit, waaronder Zero zero zero en De kinderen in de sleepnetten. Van Gomorra en Zero zero zero zijn tevens populaire televisieseries gemaakt. Zijn laatste boek Ik leef nog is een autobiografische graphic novel, dat in het najaar van 2022 is verschenen. ‘Na het lezen van Saviano kijk je nooit meer hetzelfde naar Italië en de wereldmarkt.’ The New York Times
