Women challenging the ’Ndrangheta from within

Alex Perry’s true-crime account examines the Calabrian ’Ndrangheta through the women born into its families who chose to oppose it. The book places their actions against a criminal system described as extending beyond Italy through drug trafficking, extortion, arms dealing, violence, and omertà—the code of silence that protects the organization. Its central tension lies in the danger of breaking with a network whose power is bound up with family ties and enforced secrecy. The focus remains on the women’s decision to expose and confront that world, and on the stakes attached to doing so.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • True-crime readers interested in organized crime
  • Readers seeking accounts of women confronting criminal power
  • Those interested in the ’Ndrangheta and Italian mafia history
