Omerta
M. Puzo

Omerta, the Sicilian code of silence, has been the cornerstone of the Mafia's code of honour for centuries. Born in the beautiful Sicilian hills, Omertŕ carried the Mafia through a century of change, but at the close of a tempestuous century it is becoming a relic from a bygone age. Honour may be silent - but money talks. In New York a mob boss is assassinated and no one will talk. His nephew and the head of the city's FBI each launch investigations into the murder. But silence spreads like a contagion: the silence of rival gangs, the silence of crooked bankers; even the silence of the courts. However, the world of the Mafiosi is one without integrity, and one riven with greed. And when money starts to talk... Mario Puzo was the author of eight novels, including the second-bestselling paperback novel of all time, The Godfather. He also wrote ten screenplays, including Superman and Superman II. For both of his screen adaptations of The Godfather he won Academy Awards. Mario Puzo died in 1999: Omertŕ is his last, dramatic word on the Mafia's world of brutal glamour.
