«Omertà» is Mario Puzo's mafia novel, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (348 pages, in Spanish).
When Don Raymonde Aprile, the last great don of the American mafia, dies, his adopted nephew Astorre Viola, raised in Sicily and groomed to succeed him, must take his place. In the struggle, an FBI agent, two corrupt cops, and a South American crime boss cross paths, in a tale of clashing loyalties, betrayals, and the code of silence.
The Spanish translation is by M.ª Antonia Menini. The original English title is Omerta.
For readers of crime fiction and mafia stories, especially those who appreciate plots of loyalty and revenge.
Mario Francis Puzo was an American author and screenwriter. He wrote crime novels about the Italian-American Mafia and Sicilian Mafia, most notably The Godfather (1969), which he later co-adapted into a film trilogy directed by Francis Ford Coppola. He received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the first film in 1972 and for Part II in 1974. Puzo also wrote the original screenplay for the 1978 Superman film and its 1980 sequel. His final novel, The Family, was released posthumously in 2001.
