#1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline presents Loyalty, an emotional, action-packed epic of love and justice, set during the rise of the Mafia in Sicily.

Loyalty can save a soul—or destroy one.

Franco Fiorvanti is a handsome lemon grower toiling on the estate of a baron. He dreams of owning his own grove, but the rigid class system of Sicily thwarts his ambition. Determined to secure a better future, Franco will do anything to prove his loyalty to the baron. But when the baron asks him to kidnap a little boy named Dante, Franco makes a decision that will change his life—and even the history of Sicily—forever.
Gaetano Catalano is an idealistic young lawyer whose devotion to justice is tantamount to a calling. He’s a member of the Beati Paoli, a real-life secret society of aristocrats who investigate crime in Palermo, a city riddled with graft. Gaetano sets out to find the boy and punish the kidnapper, but his mission leads him to a darker place than he had ever imagined.
Meanwhile, Mafalda Pancari is a new mother rejoicing at the birth of her daughter, Lucia, when disaster strikes. And Alfredo D’Antonio is a reclusive goatherd under constant threat of being discovered as a Jew. How the lives of these unforgettable characters collide makes Loyalty an epic tale of good versus evil, as the story twists and turns to its monumental showdown.
Readers will be transported to the dramatic and ruggedly beautiful island of Sicily, the jewel of the Mediterranean, where lush lemon groves and mouth-watering cuisine contrast with a turbulent history of colonization and corruption. Scottoline brings her decades of thriller writing to historical fiction, creating in Loyalty a singular novel that no reader will be able to put down.

The author ties up the many character stories in neat fashion with creativity and honor. It’s a mix of 19th century Sicilian history, with the flair of a mix of the crimes, culture and setting that led way to the Mafia. A very creative mix of rich characters and the challenges of a caste society that pushed people to do horrible things.

Very interesting Historical Fiction of Sicily and the origins of the mafia.

The history and story was well researched and presented with a story of complicated circumstances and long history. It was difficult to follow and I had to stop and rewind often I stuck with it because I’m a loyal fan of Lisa Scottoline. I didn’t return it because I plan to revisit and try again.

4.5 STARS

Anyone who knows me knows that an historical novel about the beginning of the Italian mafia is about as far from my interests as sci fi. Yet, when Lisa Scottoline writes such a book and the incomparable Edoardo Ballerini narrates, LOYALTY was an automatic preorder.

While LOYALTY started a bit confusing for me trying to figure out which character was which, Ballerini’s mesmerizing voice kept me listening and engaged. About halfway through, I realized I couldn’t stop listening, waiting to see what happened next. While not a thriller, I felt the same emotional vibes the entire second half of the book.

I don’t usually like historical fiction, but I’ll read anything Scottoline writes.

Hypnotic

what an excellent book! The reader added to the book as well, but this story had its villains and lovable characters. The development of the characters was rich and done so well. Scottoline truly is a master and I enjoyed this book very much.
