In the eagerly anticipated sequel to The Piranhas, Roberto Saviano takes readers back to the streets of Naples and the boy bosses who rule them. In Savage Kiss, Nicolas Fiorilla and his gang of children, known as the paranza, have risen to power quickly, controlling the squares of Forcella. However, being at the top comes with its challenges. With the Piranhas now in control of the city, they must undermine the old families of the Camorra and remain united among themselves. Each paranza member has their own vendettas and dreams to pursue, sometimes exceeding the laws of the gang. A new war may be on the horizon, filled with cut-throat bargaining, ruthless betrayal, and brutal revenge.

Saviano continues the story of the disillusioned boys of Forcella, the paranzini ready to give and receive kisses that leave a taste of blood. Savage Kiss, translated by Antony Shugaar, showcases the brilliance of Italian novelist Saviano. His previous work, Gomorrah, became a worldwide sensation, and The Piranhas was praised for its raw and shocking portrayal of criminal ambition. With Savage Kiss, readers are once again captivated by the thrilling tale of raw criminal ambition told with openhearted rashness.
