Title : The Companions of Silence - Paul Feval - book Summary : At the very beginning of the 19th century, Count Mario de Monteleone, cousin of Ferdinand, King of Naples, secretly leads the fight against the French. Secret: that's all there is to it. The conspirators have no weapons, but they possess a sense of their rights and know they can count on the surest ally: silence. Traps, kidnappings, crimes, real and fake suicides, and plots follow one another at a breathless pace. In this labyrinthine novel, published in volume form in 1858, Paul Féval explores the genesis of the terrible secret societies that Southern Italy soon made a dark specialty of, later giving rise to the Mafia and the Neapolitan Camorra. Both in style and in novelistic energy, the author once again proves himself the equal of the master of the serial novel: Alexandre Dumas.

"While she indulges in the picturesque, without claiming to be a historian or sociologist, Anne Perry doesn't mince her words.
