En el Nueva York de 1968, la poderosa familia Prizzi domina la economía del país a través del crimen organizado, influyendo en políticos y jueces por igual. Don Corrado, sus hijos y su letal asesino a sueldo, Charley Partanna, forman el núcleo de este imperio mafioso que se ve amenazado cuando antiguos aliados deciden testificar contra ellos durante una campaña electoral a la alcaldía. Esta novela es la primera entrega de la célebre saga de Richard Condon, una comedia negra cargada de ironía y personajes inolvidables. A través de una trama de suspense y traiciones, la obra explora las dinámicas internas de la mafia, sirviendo de inspiración para clásicos del género y siendo la predecesora de 'El honor de los Prizzi', que fue adaptada magistralmente al cine por John Huston.
Richard Thomas Condon was an American political novelist. Though his works were satire, they were generally transformed into thrillers or semi-thrillers in other media, such as cinema. All 26 books were written in distinctive Condon style, which combined a fast pace, outrage, and frequent humor while focusing almost obsessively on monetary greed and political corruption. Condon himself once said: "Every book I've ever written has been about abuse of power. I feel very strongly about that. I'd like people to know how deeply their politicians wrong them." Condon's books were occasionally bestsellers, and a number of his books were made into films; he is primarily remembered for his 1959 The Manchurian Candidate and, many years later, a series of four novels about a family of New York gangsters named Prizzi.
