They paid for respect and power with innocence. Now they'll put their lives on the line.
Nicolas Fiorillo, nicknamed Maharaja, and his teenage minions are rapidly rising to the top of the Neapolitan camorra food chain. However, holding on to conquered territory under siege from other clans is harder than a bunch of bold kids from the Forcella district anticipated. As they cross the threshold of adulthood, its members have lost their natural immunity as children - which is even defended among the camorristi in Naples - and are slowly discovering that the lucrative drug pond is teeming with predatory piranhas. Moreover, the cohesion of the paranza is threatened by the private ambitions of its members and a pile of unfinished business. Will they succeed in weakening the power of the old mafia families and remain united in their pressure? Because if it doesn't, Italy's southern metropolis is probably in for another gang war...
From the author of the award-winning Gomorrah comes the sequel to Piranha. It introduces the world to a new generation of Italian mafiosi: teenagers raised on pop culture that glorifies crime and violence.
