There are too many interesting Italian books on organized crime but unfortunately I don't know about any of them being translated in English. I heard John Dickie's books in English about Italian mafia are interesting, but they aren't really about the current times as far as I know, more about Riina's times or before that.

"Mafioso" by Gaia Servadio is interesting, but it was published in the 70s.

"Gomorrah" by Roberto Saviano is an interesting book about the camorra of the 2000s in my opinion, it has been translated.

Maybe "White shotgun" by Attilio Bolzoni will do, also available in English? I haven't read it myself, but often read articles by this journalist about the mafia in newspaper archives.

Willie Marfeo to Henry Tameleo:

1) "You people want a loaf of bread and you throw the crumbs back. Well, fuck you. I ain't closing down."

2) "Get out of here, old man. Go tell Raymond to go shit in his hat. We're not giving you anything."
