MARIO PUZO: BOOK: Omerta |
Mario Puzo spent the last three years of his life writing Omerta, the concluding installment in his saga about power and morality in America. It was released after his death.
Omerta (2001)
Summary: First there was... The Godfather. Then there was... The Last Don. Now prepare to take the vow of your life... Omerta
To Don Raymonde Aprile's children he was loyal family member, their father's adopted "nephew." To the FBI he was a man who would rather ride horses then do Mob business. No one knew why Aprile, the last great American Don, had adopted Astorre Viola many years before in Sicily; no one suspected how he had carefully trained him... and how, while the Don's children claimed respectable careers in America, Astorre Viola waited for his time to come.
Now his time has arrived. The Don is dead, his murder one bloody act in a drama of ambition and deceit - from the deadly compromises made by an FBI agent to the greed of two crooked NYPD detectives and the frightening plans of South American Mob kingpin. In a collision of enemies and lovers, betrayers and loyal soldiers, Astorre Viola will claim his destiny. Because after all these years, this moment is in his blood...
Omerta: a Sicilian code of honor which forbids informing about crimes thought to be the affairs of the persons involved - World Book Dictionary.
