The story of this steamy novel centers on an amoral young Italian aristocrat with a penchant for violence who owes his extravagant lifestyle to the favors of a mafia overlord. So when he is asked to silence four witnesses due to testify against the mob, the aristocrat is more than happy to comply in a most brutal manner.

And the special agent is the only one who realizes that it is not loyalty, or honor, or debt that drive the young man to murder -- but the thrill of the kill!

Un libro a cui fare riferimento ogni volta che la vita presenta una nuova sfida così da affrontarla con coraggio ed energia per migliorare la qualità della propria vita.
