""Roberto Saviano returns to the streets of Naples and the boy bosses who run them in Savage Kiss, the hotly anticipated follow-up to his bestselling novel The Piranhas. Nicolas Fiorillo and his gang of children - his paranza - control the squares of Forcella after their rapid rise to power. But it's not easy being at the top. Now that the Piranhas have power in the city, Nicolas must undermine the old families of the Camorra and keep the Piranhas united. Every paranzino has his own verdettas and dreams to pursue - dreams 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. Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah was a worldwide sensation, and The Piranhas captivated readers with its tale of raw criminal ambition, told with ""open-hearted brashness"" (Elena Ferranted). Savage Kiss, expertly translated from the Italian by Antony Shugaar, continues the story of the disillusioned boys of Forcella, the paranzini ready to give and receive kisses that leave a taste of blood."" - from the inner front jacket flap.
