Saviano has an astonishing ability to write luminously yet subtly about terrible things.

Brave and passionate

Saviano should be commended for his bravery, and supported by all who share his revulsion.

Vivid . . . lands a resounding thump to the solar plexus

A national hero.

Intriguing . . . grimly absorbing . . . a tremendously gripping work of reportage

A dense, dazzling, dizzying narrative about the terrifying violence of the cocaine trade, but also the vast, unassailable reach of it.

Impassioned . . . a literary style that switches from vivid descriptions of human depravity to a philosophical consideration of the meaning of violence in the modern world.

A powerful work of reportage . . . it goes to the heart of the financial sector's dependence on drug capital and its depredations

Saviano is a blazingly vivid and courageous writer.
