An enthralling tale of Mafia conspiracy, violence and betrayal from the legendary author ofThe Godfather

Omert , the Sicilian code of silence, has been the cornerstone of the Mafia's sense of honour for centuries. Born in the Sicilian hills, omert

carried the Mafia through a hundred years of change, but now at the century's end it is becoming a relic from a bygone age. Honour may be silent - but money talks.

New York - 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...

Reviews for Omerta

Puzo's genius was to create a world so thick with personality and acknowledged rules of behaviour, along with its crime and violence, that reading his books becomes a seriously guilty pleasure * New York Post * Here is all the classic material of Mafia mythology ... spins a spell all its own * The Times * Hugely effective fiction ... [Puzo] keeps his pack with readers to unfailingly deliver the goods * Literary Review *
