Black souls : a novel  Cover Image Book Book

Black souls : a novel / Gioacchino Criaco ; translated from the Italian by Hillary Gulley.

Criaco, Gioacchino, 1965- (author.). Gulley, Hillary, (translator.).

Summary:

"In the remote Aspromonte Mountains in southern Calabria, Italy, three best friends embark on a life of crime in order to raise themselves up out of the poverty of their childhoods and the suffering of their parents. Brainy Luciano, the behind-the-scenes schemer, was orphaned as a little boy when the local mob boss had his postman father executed. Lazy, jovial Luigi has learned that there’s no point in following the rules, since there is no path to riches for poor boys. And completing the triumvirate is the nameless narrator, from whose black soul comes the inspiration and energy for each new criminal project, from kidnapping to armed robbery to heroin dealing to contract killing."-- Provided by publisher.
