Title : The Fall of the Hawk - Lucio-Maria Attinelli - Book
Summary :
The modern mafia novel. A suspense thriller with a disturbing taste of truth.
On the threshold of the third millennium, the mafia has changed its face. It is a major investor who, from the Atlantic to the Urals, infiltrates all the economic circuits of the planet. At the head of this reconversion is a refined and beyond all suspicion, a Palermo native with a degree from American universities, the Godfather of Godfathers: Joe Licata.
Around him, the terror followers have not all disappeared. Licata must outpace the most bestial of them, his longtime adversary, the Sicilian Toto LaRosa, known as the Sparrowhawk. LaRosa brought down former Italian Prime Minister Giulo Andreotti. Now, he threatens police officers and magistrates with death. And His Holiness Pope John Paul II himself. His ferocious ambition compromises the future of the Honorable Society.
A woman will push Licata to wage his final battle against him. From Palermo to New York, from Chicago to Moscow, via Ashkabad, the capital of Turkmenistan, intelligence will have to measure up to strength, and the art of strategy will have to respond to the sinister vendetta. The man who emerges victorious from this confrontation will be the Godfather of the year 2000.
