Omertà, the Sicilian code of silence, has been the cornerstone of the Mafia's sense of honour fo centuries. Born in the Sicilian hills, omertà carried the Mafia through a hundred years of chance, but now at the century's end it is becoming a relic from a bygone age. Honour may be silent - but money talks.
New Yor - a mob boss is assassinated. His nephew Astorre Viola and the head of the city's FBI both launch investigations into the murder. But this time silence spreads like a contagion: the silence of rival gangs, the silence of crooked bankers, even the silence of the courts. The world of the Mafia is riven with greed, and Viola knows that now is the time to claim his destiny...

Cativante

Mário Puzo conseguiu voltar àquela atmosfera de Godfather. A história de Astorre é muito envolvente. Apesar da violência (não achei demais), a história da máfia "moderna" entrando na legalidade, contra os traficantes de drogas e contra agentes da lei corruptos me prendeu. Vai ficar na memória.
