Malavita: A Novel

Imagine The Sopranos transplanted to the French countrysideâ€¦.
Â
This thrillingly comic, internationally bestsellingÂ Mafia farce is the inspiration for the major motion picture The Family starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Tommy Lee Jones, and produced by Martin Scorsese.

The Blakes are newcomers to a small town in Normandy. Fred is a historian researching the Allied landings, Maggie enjoys charity work, and their kids are looking forward to meeting other teenagers at the local lycÃ©e. Or so it seems.

In fact, Fred is really Giovanni Manzoni, an ex-goodfella turned stool pigeon whoâ€™s been relocated from New Jersey to France by the FBIâ€™s witness protection program. Heâ€™s got a two-million-dollar bounty on his head, but he and his family canâ€™t help attracting attention (imagine the Sopranos in Normandy). And when imprisoned mobster Don Mimino gets wind of their location, itâ€™s Mafia mayhem Ã la Josh Bazellâ€™s Beat the Reaper, or like The Godfather as if written by Carl Hiaasen. Because while you can take the man out of the Mafia, you canâ€™t take the Mafia out of the man.
