This posthumously published novel by the author of The Godfather has more tasty twists than a plate of fusilli. A noble don is assassinated by ignoble rivals eager to take over their victim's legal banking empire. His Mob-free offspring, content with their legitimate careers, want to cash out to their father's killers. But a trusted, Sicily-hardened nephew had promised the old don that the banks would always remain in the family.
