Silence has a price.
And someone is always paying it.
When Inspector Franca Ferri travels from Naples to New York, she expects distance to mean safety.
She is wrong.
In the heart of the Italian-American community, old Neapolitan emigrants who run small family pizzerias are being suffocated by an invisible racket. No threats. No violence. Just garbage—piled deliberately in front of their businesses—unless a mysterious “temporary” tax is paid.
A tax that has nothing to do with waste
and everything to do with fear.
As Franca Ferri and her team dig deeper, they uncover a criminal system that has crossed the ocean, adapting itself to a new city while keeping the same ancient rules: silence, obedience, and shame. What begins as a local investigation becomes an international case, exposing how organized crime survives not through brutality, but through normalization.
The Price of Silence is a gripping, character-driven crime novel set between Naples and New York.
A story about invisible power, everyday corruption, and the courage it takes to stop calling injustice “normal.”
Perfect for readers who love:
European crime fiction with international scope
Strong female detectives
Italian noir and investigative novels
Social crime stories rooted in realism
Once silence is broken, nothing can return to the shadows.
