An FBI Special Agent Ana Grey Mystery
review 1: This is my first book by this author--the character is an FBI agent, but in this book she is in Italy, well outside her jurisdiction, meeting someone who claims to be her half-sister. Once introductions are mae, the purported half sister gets kidnapped and it is unclear--is it the sister who is the target, or is it Anna herself--the story unfolds in such a way that it could go either way, and the book rolls along to a satisfactory ending. I would seek this author out in the future, and recommend this read.
review 2: The plot is engaging...and yes, the Ndragheta is probablly the most ruthless of all crime organizations. However, especially since the author acknowledges Robert Saviano's "Gomorrah" as one of her sources for information about Italian organized c
... morerime, there are many holes and inaccuracies. I have read Gomorrah and spent the past hour perusing...there is NO way they would allow Ndgragheta to control any part of the counterfeit fashion industry in Campania; and if they did allow them to ship drugs out of the port, there would have to be an enticing agreement. Reggio Calabria or Bari...no problem with credibility. Naples? not so sure. less
