Michel Auger on Bloodlines

By Michel Auger / Le Journal de Montreal

Bloodlines is a true mafia story that reads like fiction. For decades the Caruana-Cuntrera family, the most dangerous and secretive of Cosa Nostra, has spread itself across the globe, organizing narcotics routes, corrupting financiers and politicians, and laudering hundreds of millions in criminal profits. Lee Lamothe and Antonio Nicaso succeed in documenting the rise and fall of the underworld's rotalty, the Caruana-Cuntrera family.
