virtuosity of the writing and dramatic composition: The real facts are mixed with fiction in a manner quite amazing in this remarkable novel about organized crime in the United States.

"Killing your own father is a real spiritual experience: it comes back necessarily to kill a small part of oneself, but at the same time an exorcism. It is the killers to whom I spoke who claim to wear them in the face of the dead, as if a small portion of their spirit had penetrated into them when they die and no one had ever gone. If I close my eyes and I focus enough, I can remember the faces of my victims. Maybe if I look long enough in the mirror I can see their reflection in my eyes, but I will not put my hand to be cut. I'm sure the imagination is there for something, but I also believe that there is some truth in what I said. We carry the faces of the dead in us, but for me it's my father's face that haunts me the most. "
