In   The Godfather, he introduced us to the Corleones. In The Last Don, he told   the wicked tale of the Clericuzios. In Omerta, Puzo chronicles the affairs of   the Apriles, a family on the brink of legitimacy in a world of   criminals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Don Raymonde Aprile is an old man wily enough to retire gracefully from   organized crime after a lifetime of ruthless conquest. Having kept his three   children at a distance, he's ensured that they are now respectable members of   the establishment: Valerius is an army colonel who teaches at West Point, Marcantonio   is an influential TV network executive, and Nicole is a corporate litigator   with a weakness for pro bono cases to fight the death penalty. To protect   them from harm, and to maintain his entrée into the legitimate world of   international banking, Don Aprile has adopted a \"nephew\" from   Sicily, Astorre Viola, whose legal guardian made the unfortunate decision to   commit suicide in the trunk of a car. Astorre is an unlikely enforcer—a   macaroni importer with a fondness for riding stallions and recording Italian   ballads with his band.\u003cbr\u003e         \u003cbr\u003e Though Don Aprile's retirement is seen as a business opportunity by his   last Mafia rival, Timmona Portella, it is viewed with suspicion by Kurt Cilke,   the FBI's special agent in charge of investigating organized crime. Cilke has   achieved remarkable success in breaking down the bonds between families,   cultivating high-ranking sources who in return for federal protection have   violated omerta—Sicilian for \"code of silence,\" the vow among men   of honor that, until recently, kept them from betraying their secrets to the   authorities.\u003cbr\u003e         \u003cbr\u003e As Cilke and the FBI mount their campaign to wipe out the Mafia once and   for all, Astorre Viola and the Apriles find themselves in the midst of one   last war, a conflict in which it is hard to distinguish who, if anyone, is on   the right side of the law, and whether mercy or vengeance is the best course   of action.\u003cbr\u003e         \u003cbr\u003e Rich with suspense, dark humor, and the larger-than-life characters who   have turned Mario Puzo's novels into modern myths, Omerta is a powerful   epitaph for the Mafia at the turn of a new century, and a final triumph for a   great American storyteller.\u003cb\u003eMario Puzo \u003c\/b\u003enació en 1920 en Nueva York en el seno de una familia de origen italiano.
