At the heart of the novel is Giovanna, whose family is targeted by the notorious Black Hand--the precursor to the Mafia. Elizabeth Street brings to light a period in history when Italian immigrant neighborhoods lived in fear of Black Hand extortion and violence--a reality that defies the romanticized depiction of the Mafia. Here, the author reveals the merciless terror of the Black Hand--and the impact their crimes had on her family. Giovanna is based on Fabiano's great-grandmother, and the book's heroes and villains--such as Lieutenant Petrosino, the crusading cop and \"Lupo the Wolf,\" a cold-blooded criminal--are drawn from real life in this thrilling tale. While set in a dynamic historical context, \u003ci\u003eElizabeth Street\u003c\/i\u003e is, above all, the dramatic story of the heroine, Giovanna, and how she triumphed over tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.11 x 9.06 x 6.07 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 04, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42696822259775,"sku":"9781935597025","price":19.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/4bf429eed91c94c5e2b4f96c040553d8.webp?v=1765007419","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/elizabeth-street-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
