She, a toothless, white-haired hag, was called the Queen of the Mafia gangs. Her word was law. Dressed in a man's clothes, she was wont to ride around the country marking out victims for the Mafia. She it was who ordered murders, robberies, extortions, ambushings, torture, kidnappings. None dared disobey her commands...
