A global investigation into the hidden empires of organized crime. From the streets of Sicily to the jungles of Colombia, from the skyscrapers of Moscow to the alleyways of Tokyo, Mafia: The Blood Pact dives deep into the evolution of criminal organizations across the world. Italian journalist Aldo Caputo, a veteran reporter with decades of experience covering mafia-related events from within his native country, takes the reader on a bold and unfiltered journey. Drawing on personal interviews, field notes, and extensive documentation, Caputo explores the rise and transformation of the world's most dangerous criminal networks: from Cosa Nostra to the 'Ndrangheta, from the Camorra to Mexican cartels, the Russian Bratva, the Chinese Triads, African gangs, and the cybermafias of the digital age. With sharp insight and accessible storytelling, Caputo reveals the inner workings, power structures, and bloody rituals that define these organizations. This book is both a compelling true crime investigation and a reflection on how organized crime continues to shape politics, society, and global power. For readers of nonfiction, investigative journalism, history, and anyone fascinated by the real forces that move in the shadows.
