The Sicilian A Novel

After Mario Puzo wrote his internationally acclaimed <i>The Godfather,</i> he has often been imitated but never equaled. Puzo's classic novel, <i>The Sicilian,</i> stands as a cornerstone of his work—a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of bloodshed, justice, and treachery. . . .<br><br>The year is 1950. Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. The Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Guiliano back with him to America. But Guiliano is a man entwined in a bloody web of violence and vendettas. In Sicily, Guiliano is a modern day Robin Hood who has defied corruption—and defied the Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient ruins, Michael Corleone's fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of Salvatore Guiliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano.<br><br><b>Praise for <i>The Sicilian</i></b><br><br>“Puzo is a master storyteller.”<b>—<i>USA Today </i></b><br><br>“The Balzac of the mafia.”<b>—<i>Time</i></b><br><br>“An accomplished and imaginative writer.”<b>—<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b>
