“A page-flipping tale of power, brutality and glamour (Library Journal) from the bestselling author of The Godfather.
Played out in the underground worlds of high-stakes gambling, publishing, and the film industry, this epic thriller follows two brothers, Merlyn and Arite, as they delve into the dangerous underbelly of American life. From Las Vegas to New York to Hollywood, there is one thing that remains constant: organized crime and the law are simply two sides of the same coin...
“Convincing and fascinating...Puzo is a skilled craftsman...There is a Balzacian fascination in seeing the inside workings of the casinos.”—Wall Street Journal
“Hypnotic! The narrative boils without let-up, big scene after big scene, with plenty of betting, bedding, and boozing.”—San Francisco Chronicle
