Author Liliana Agata Marretta has penned a novel in the same style that many of the popular mob movies were based on. Her book is not about a fictional 'family' that muscles its control over a dark, seedy underground... Marretta said that she doesn't want to glorify crime or mock the legal system in her telling of Barbera's story. Instead, she masterfully describes Barbera's internal struggle with his own feelings and emotions, his search for justice and the debts that must be paid to achieve retribution... Sicilian Justice is the story of Barbera's trek from loving father to wanted outlaw. It is set in and around the lush landscape of Sicily in the mid 1900's. Marretta draws readers in with her vibrant descritions, then keeps them glued to the pages with her all to-real story line. by Brian Griesbach , TIMES reporter. This is an incredible but true story that envelopes in the fullest all the heartfelt emotions - Love, hatred and retribution set the stage where kidnapping, murder, extortion, honor and dishonor are the protagonists attesting to all the elements of life. Son of an affluent Sicilian family during WWII, Nino had friends and family in the Mafia. Dramatic events removed his father when the boy was twelve and his riveting story reveals the amazing twelve and his riveting story reveals the amazing and dangerous journey Nino had to travel. Into his young life, came fugitive and murderer Antonio Barbera, a loyal friend and teacher. He taught Nino the law of the land, helped him survive ongoing dangerous encounters, and he ultimately carried out the Sicilian revenge-required justice in Nino's behalf. Antonio Barbera's passionate sense of justice struck mortal fear in the hearts of his enemies. His intense unending mission for justice demanded that such debts be paid in full.
