The Camorra, Italy
Naples, Italy, is viewed by many as the birth place of organized crime. Lou heads back to his own mother country on a mission to infiltrate one of the oldest, toughest and most opaque mafias of them all: the Camorra. At least 300 years old, the Camorra was reputedly built on tenets of respect, honor, and straight business, and yet these days it thrives on chaos. The police estimate that the drugs trade in the Secondigliano area of Naples alone nets Camorra gangsters over a billion Euros a year. Lou arrives in Naples in the midst of a violent inter-clan war, which rages throughout the extended region of Campagnia and discovers that for a new generation of Camorra bosses there is no honour amongst thieves.

The Grypser Gang, Poland
Lou heads to Poland, home to more than 500 criminal gangs, to infiltrate the shadowy underworld of The Grypsers. Known as ‘The Smart Ones,’ they are a notoriously private and secretive prison gang that forms approximately 70% of the Polish prison population. Lou is on a quest to discover if The Grypsers control the Polish Mafia outside prison, or if the Polish Mafia control The Grypsers. Along the way he’ll visit some extraordinary Grypser bosses, an English speaking 'protected witness' who was tortured, scalped and left for dead after his debt to the Polish mafia went bad. His subsequent evidence has led to 30 gang members being put in prison, so he is now under permanent armed protection.
