"A Compelling Tale Peopled By Memorable Charaters." Puzo is a master storyteller with an uncanny facility for details that force the reader to keep the pages turning.

 Domenico Clericuzio is the last don, a wise and ruthless old man who is determined to see his heirs established in legitimate society but whose vision is threatened when secrets from the family"s past spark a vicious war between two blood cousins.

 The Last Don is a mesmerizing tale that takes us inside the equally corrupt worlds of the Mob, the movie industry, and the casinos--where beautiful actresses and ruthless hitmen are ruled by lust and violence, where sleazy producers and greedy studio heads are drunk with power, where crooked cops and desperate gamblers play dangerous games of betrayal, and where one man controls them all.
