Omerta by Mario Puzo
Omerta, the Sicilian code of silence, has been the cornerstone of the Mafia's sense of honour for centuries. But this time silence spreads like a contagion: the silence of rival gangs, the silence of crooked bankers, even the silence of the courts.
Hugely effective fiction.. [Puzo] keeps his pack with readers to unfailingly deliver the goods * Literary Review *
Here is all the classic material of Mafia mythology ... spins a spell all its own * The Times *
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 *
