The Collaborator is the brutal but compelling story of the daughter of a Mafia-like family who becomes a collaborator with the police. The story revolves around Immacolata, the daughter of a criminal family who realises that her family has been responsible for the death of a friend. She has been living in London where she meets Eddie who ends up being an innocent victim in the efforts of the family to prevent Immacolata giving evidence against them. Be warned though, it really is grim and brutal in places, realistic though that may be.
The book describes the very different worlds of London and Naples very well. I thought Naples particularly vivid but that may only be because that's new to me and not the fairly familiar world of London. But more than that, it provides a great insight into Naples, its history and the local Mafia. And it's one I won't forget in a hurry - unlike many thrillers.
The Collaborator is available from Amazon.com
