A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Its 1963 in New York, and outside the fortified building owned by Michael, newly undisputed Boss of all Bosses, a parade of people are waiting to ask the great man for favours. Among the visitors are former mob rivals, an emissary from the Mayor of New York, even faces from the past like Jonny Fontane; all come to pay homage. We see the Great Mafia Don walking the streets of his New York, beloved and protected. Things have never been better for the Corleones. They've won the war, taken out their rivals, and legitimised the Family. Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen - Vito Corleone's adopted son, and the glue that holds the family together - are closer than they've ever been.

But one problem remains. Michael has sworn revenge upon the traitorous former Corleone capo, Nick Geraci. Up until now Geraci, who has powerful friends and far too much to say, has evaded his grasp. And that night, as the fireworks begin to explode over First Avenue, comes the news that Jimmy Shea, President of the United States, has been assassinated. Was another mob family involved? Or did the Corleones have a hand in the killing of their old friend?

The Godfather's Revenge is the incredible story of the true 'lost years' in the Corleone saga: 1963-78, about which virtually nothing has ever been said, filmed, or written. This is the book that brings the saga full cycle.

It is 1963 in New York, and things have never been better for the Corleones. They've won the war, taken out their rivals, and legitimised the Family.

The Godfather's Revenge is the incredible story of the last lost years of the Corleone saga: 1963-78, about which virtually nothing has ever been said, filmed, or written. This is the book that brings this great saga to a conclusion.
