Giancarlo De Cataldo Book order

It's all change in Rome. The new Pope is determined to bring radical reform, while a new centre-left government replaces its disgraced predecessor. And with crime eminence grise Samurai in jail, his protege attempts to establish himself as his successor. All the while he must reckon not only with a new generation of enterprising gangsters and racketeers - out to carve for themselves a slice of the profits and opportunities offered by the major public works planned - but also with the clever, beautiful, ambitious and newly elected politician Chiara Visoni, and his own heart.

Made into a hugely successful European television series, Romanzo Criminale tells the story of a man they call The Lebanese, a dangerous criminal with a single dream to conquer the underworld of Rome.
