He is pioneer of Mafia Literature that is sub-category of crime literature. A critical analysis has been done in collaboration. We have tried our level best to reach out the reasons of such obnoxious crimes revealed and exposed in this piece of literature by the novelist very dexterously. It is an acknowledged fact that social injustices lead to aggression that in turn leads to violence. After being suppressed for centuries first in Italy and then in America, the Sicilians formed a criminal brother hood in order to safeguard their rights. The Sicilian immigrants were denied their social rights in order to improve their living standard; hence, they switch to crimes for the better future of their children.
