6 8 y separately published work icon Midnight in Sicily Peter Robb , Utrecht : Spectrum , 2000 Z799413 1996 single work prose travel Peter Robb, who lived in southern Italy for 15 years, tells the story of Sicily, its opulent coasts, its stark interior, its extraordinary art and rich food, and its layers of culture from east and west. Sicily is also the home of the mafia, and Midnight in Sicily shows the grip of organised crime on daily life in Italy's south and the mafia's ties to government in Rome, following the career of Giulio Andreotti–seven times prime minister of Italy who at the time was appealing a conviction for conspiracy to murder, but has since been acquitted of the crime. The book moves from art to crime to food with tremendous narrative verve and a mass of surprising detail. (Source: Pan Macmillan Australia)
