内容简介
In 1992 Italy was convulsed by two brazen Mafia assassinations
of high-ranking officials. The latest “excellent cadavers” were
Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the Sicilian magistrates who
had been the Cosa Nostra’s most implacable enemies. Yet in the
aftermath of the murders, hundreds of “men of honor” were arrested
and the government that ad protected them for nearly half a century
was at last driven from office. This is the story that Stille tells
with such insight and immediacy in Excellent Cadavers.
Combining a profound understanding of his doomed heroes with and
unprecedented look into the Mafia’s stringent codes and murderous
rivalries, he gives us a book that has the power of a great work of
history and the suspense of a true thriller.
