What many people like in books is often related to genre. And there are lots of these available and new ones crop up every year, although the major ones have all been defined and what is new could be innovative mash ups or combinations of the old. Novels that are about detectives and criminals are a mixture of the classic and the new.

Mafiosi are persons identified as Italian gangsters and their storied and often make for more fascinating reads, but they belong to a general class of written work that could include any organized criminal group and their activities as a focus. The Mobster Crime Novel is one that will include many kinds of mob groups. In the classic scene it is related to the Sicilian mob transplanted in America.

You could say that this topic has seen its heyday in past decades. There have been numerous written works that have even been translated into film about gangsters, their molls or girlfriends, their various crime operations and how they fight with the law and among themselves. The drama is often high and the tones are serious, dark and tragic.

Crime is something that lots of folks go willingly into, and many mobsters will say how they did not come into it willingly. There will really be no liking a thing like this, but many accept and are willing sacrifice their lives for it with morbid humor and even some laconic wit. Life that is being portrayed in books like these is constantly violent.

The saying that criminals pay is often seen with a mitigating factor for folks who do some good, like Robin Hood did, stealing and fighting the rich or the nobles to help the poor. Gangsters may have a quality like this, since they are those who may be fighting against a political system which has oppressed or marginalized them. Their formative foundations could often be for protecting their folks.

Laws here say that this might be wrong, although the Sicilians and African Americans in mobs point to oppressive laws and social systems. It means they have been fighting for having better laws, and those which are equal, less about having one specific group lord it over everyone else because they are supposed to be better. Discrimination, racism or prejudice could motivate folks to form mobs.

A book which covers their activities and their philosophies and dreams will need to be well researched. Some authors themselves may have come from these groups originally but are now focusing on telling the world the inner spirit which has driven these movements. And these are real movements with relevant causes, too.

Oppressors often create their own enemies, and when their laws label folks criminal, in terms of justice it may not even be truthful. The many points or issues here also will make for the selling points of a book like this to sell. Any one could be espousing a philosophy, but make this play out in ow their characters live their lives and make their own realities.

All these make this novel a unique perspective into the real men and women who have thrown their lot in to leading dangerous lives. They may even be some of the most intelligent people around. And the way this novel is sought after is telling in that a lot of readers sympathize with the causes found in it.
