Synopsis:
THE FINAL CHAPTER IN MARIO PUZO’S LANDMARK MAFIA TRILOGY
Mario Puzo spent the last three years of his life writing Omerta, the concluding installment in his saga about power and morality in America. In The Godfather, he introduced us to the Corleones. In The Last Don, he told the wicked tale of the Clericuzios.
New York Post
As with The Godfather--both the book and its movies--the reader gets sucked into the plot immediately and soon feels sympathies shifting and loyalties becoming confused. Who is the bad guy? Are there any good guys? Puzo’s genius was to create a world so thick with personality and acknowledged rules of social behavior, along with its crime and violence, that reading his books becomes a seriously guilty pleasure.
Biography
Lifelong New Yorker Mario Puzo drew upon figures in his Italian-American family to create the characters in his smash hit The Godfather in 1969; but he claimed never to have met a real-life mobster, and his detailed portrait of the Mafia world came entirely from diligent research.
