Two young men - Jago and Marcantonio - both studying business and
finance: Jago is a kid from a rough part of London who has worked
hard to get a job in a bank and is now on a fast-track secondment
to the Berlin office. Marcantonio is one of the new generation in
the 'Ndrangheta crime families from Calabria, Southern Italy. He is
in Germany to learn how to channel their illicit millions towards
legitimate businesses all over Europe. When Jago witnesses
Marcantonio commit a vicious assault and the police seem
uninterested, the Englishman refuses to let the matter drop. But by
pursuing the gangster to his grandfather's mountain lair, Jago is
stepping into the middle of a delicate surveillance operation,
which sets alarm bells ringing in Rome, London and Berlin. It also
leads him to Consolata, a young woman who sees in Jago the chance
to turn her non-violent protest campaign against the crime families
into something altogether more lethal... NO MORTAL THING is novel
of relentless power and mounting suspense, a brilliant portrayal of
organised crime in Europe and the under-resourced men and women who
fight it.
