Every paranzino has his own vendettas and dreams to pursuedreams that might go beyond the laws of the gang. A new war may be about to break out in this city of cutthroat bargaining, ruthless betrayal, and brutal revenge. Saviano continues the story of the disillusioned boys of Forcella, the paranzini ready to give and receive kisses that leave a taste of blood.

Savianos Gomorrah was a worldwide sensation, and The Piranhas, called raw and shocking by the New York Times Book Review, captured readers with its tale of raw criminal ambition, told with openhearted rashness (Elena Ferrante). Savage Kiss, which again draws on the skills of translator Antony Shugaar, is the latest thrilling installment from the brilliant Italian novelist.
