Don Raymonde Aprile se retira de la Mafia tras haberle dedicado toda su vida. Sus tres hijos han crecido ajenos a los oscuros negocios que ha llevado y, para mantenerles asì, decide ceder el relevo al joven Astorre, a quien adoptó años atrás para formarlo y convertirlo en su mano derecha. Kurt Cilke, agente del FBI, ha obtenido un éxito sin precedentes al lograr convencer a algunos mafiosos emblemáticos de violar la omertà , pacto de silencio y de honor en la Mafia siciliana, a cambio de protección federal. Mientras el FBI concentra sus fuerzas en erradicar el crimen organizado, Astorre y los Aprile se debaten entre la compasión y la venganza. Con Omertà , Mario Puzo se adentra por última vez en el mundo de la Mafia y cierra con contundencia el cÃrculo que inició con El Padrino. / To Don Raymonde Aprile's children he was a loyal family member, their father's adopted ""nephew."" To the FBI he was a man who would rather ride his horses than 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.

Series: Mario Puzo's Mafia
I really enjoyed my 3rd Mario Puzo novel :) I am quite into Mafia stories anyway, so this was just a really exciting and entertaining read.
This was Puzo's last novel before he died, and I must say it read very much like an old man clinging to an excellent reputation. The Godfather is one of the greatest books I've ever read and the only book to make me cry, and whilst I think the "romance" of the Mafia has faded from my concious slight...
Did Mario Puzo really write this?Its awefull.....Bland language and boring characters.
