Puzo's seventh novel, a monstrously gripping quasi sequel to 1969's "The Godfather" simmers the same Italian marinara, using a more literate recipe.
Puzo chronicles Chericuzio's attempt to move his family into legitimate business, in legalized gambling and motion-picture investment, and the long-buried secrets that threaten to destroy all he has worked for. Grab this masterful saga at Upbeatee.
Peace has reigned since Domenico's young nephew, Pippi De Lena, wiped out the brutal Santadio family in one bloody evening. But Sicilian vengeance knows no time limit, and one shadowy figure remains of mixed Santadio-Clericuzio blood who now seeks payment and rulership of the Clericuzios. Puzo divides his novel mainly into scenes set on Long Island, in Las Vegas, and Hollywood.
Pippi DeLena runs the Xanadu, the crown jewel of LV casinos, sided by his son, Cross. When Cross finds himself stunned by the beauty of Hollywood's leading actress, Athena Aquitane, he decides to help her quell her fear of her acid slinging ex-husband. Athena departs LoddStone Studios, until the threat is removed. To get his foot in the legit film industry, Cross buys the unfinished picture from LoddStone, and quickly, permanently resolves Athena's maritial problems. After his father Pippi is murdered, Cross sets out to avenge him. But Cross's instincts tell him that old Domenico may be behind his own nephew's murder. Cross, caught between Scylia and Charybdis, may have to go against his own blood if he is to have revenge. Get this fabulously well-plotted; drunk on luxury tale at Upbeatee.
