"Oggi le mafie non sparano, ma il loro potere non è mai stato così forte." In questo nuovo saggio Nicola Gratteri e Antonio Nicaso ci riportano nel cuore oscuro della criminalità organizzata, svelandone i legami nascosti con i mercati finanziari e la politica e di - mostrando come essi siano ormai diventati, di fatto, "una cosa sola".
