Carlo Bonini - Giancarlo de Cataldo - Suburra

In Ostia, in the coastal part of Rome, the capital's notorious criminal syndicates, the mafia and corrupt politicians are trying to get an investment of several hundred million euros for themselves, but an unexpected event sparked a gang war.

We are in the last days of Silvio Berlusconi's power. A huge development plan would transform Ostia into a casino town, the Las Vegas of the Mediterranean. The plan is on track to pass the Italian legislature, thanks to the influence of several politicians, church leaders and bribes from criminal organizations. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. However, a small local gang with no loyalty to anyone or anything wants more than that. And he can do anything to achieve his goals. The mafia and their political puppets, on the other hand, do not watch the developments with their hands folded in their laps, and the biggest war in the area breaks out in organized crime. Samurai, the leader of the underworld, prepares to clean things up with cold sobriety, but he doesn't count on Gendarmerie Lieutenant Colonel Marco Malatesta.

The novel by Carlo Bonini and Giancarlo de Cataldo is one of the most important works of the 2010s, which depicts the Italian mafia of today and Rome, which is rotten to the core and corrupt. With Sodró's momentum and inimitable atmosphere, Suburra quickly became a cult book in Italy, Netflix adapted it into a popular series for several seasons, and it was recently published in the USA, where it was compared to the works of such greats as Dennis Lehane and Richard Price, while the influence of the series is measured against Dróté .
