About this ebook

In a corrupt world where crooked cops and desperate gamblers play dangerous games of betrayal, one man has power over them all

The Last Don is Mario Puzo at his finest - a masterful saga of the last great American crime family, the Clericuzios, and their powerful reach into Hollywood and Las Vegas. Domenico Clericuzio is a wise and ruthless man who in his old age is determined to create a life free from criminal activities for his grandchildren. But as he strives to establish his heirs in legitimate society, secrets from his family's past spark a vicious and bloody war between cousins . . .

Ratings and reviews

His way of storytelling and his imagination are still unparalleled. The story does indeed start a bit monotonous, but gets interesting after some time. Worth reading for anyone who wants to get lost into a book.

A good read but not in the same riveting way as The Godfather or The Sicilian

Not affordable.
