Metropolitan Catania, and Tony's barbeques are a neighbourhood sensation. Each weekend the party girls rub shoulders with elegant Mafiosi - and no wonder, since Tony's uncle Sal runs the local show. And so had the finger not pointed at two of Sal's most trusted men, and at Nick Palumbo, Tony's best friend, it would have been an ordinary murder.

Ottavio Cappellani's exhilarating debut has taken Europe by storm: darkly funny and truly stylish, this is a page-turner that sets its sights on Italy's biggest clich??? and explodes it from every angle. `Cappellani's Catania has the brutality of Quentin Tarantino and the trash of Pedro Almodovar' Corriere della Sera `Brilliant dialogue . . .
