Silvana Gandolfi – författare

Santino lives in Palermo, Sicily - a region of Italy dominated by the Mafia. When his father and grandfather lack the money for Santino's first-communion party, they carry out a theft. After witnessing the murders of his father and grandfather, Santino makes a daring escape from the city. Now he's left with a choice: cooperate with police and risk his life, or maintain the code of silence. Inspired by real-life events, Silvana Gandolfi's In the Line of Fire is a gripping, unforgettable story of young people's courage to do the right thing when faced with the harsh realities of the adult world.
