Schmutziger Schaden (Pavlov Bratwa 1)

The story's intense atmosphere really drew me in, but I'm curious if the author based it on personal experiences or research into real mafia dynamics.

Their loyalty and passion made me sympathize with them, but the darker choices made me uneasy. How do others reconcile this?

The push and pull between desire and danger kept me hooked, but I wonder whether the pacing was intentional to mirror this tension.
