Cesare Cardinale is an amoral, aristocratic Italian playboy - a business owner and race car driver who would like for nothing - be it fast automobiles, beautiful women, or orgies of debauchery. Cesare, however, has two grubby secrets: First, he has a penchant for violence that borders on the sadistic and sociopathic; second, he owes his luxurious life to a Sicilian Mafia don, setting up a seemingly perfect relationship - as he leads a two times life as a Mafia assassin. However when Cesare is bought to murder four U.S. administration witnesses in protective custody, he draws in the attention of your strange special agent who will stop at nothing to bring the offense syndicate down. Soon Cesare is engaged in a lethal game of cat-and-mouse against both an adversary who is more than his match, as he is aware of what makes Cesare tick, and the Mafia, who concerns he might speak. From the writer of The New York Times number one best-selling book The Carpetbaggers comes a tale about the Mafia, written when American market leaders like J. Edgar Hoover were still skeptical about the lifetime of an Italian-American organized offense network or the Cosa Nostra. Posted a decade earlier, this novel motivated books like Mario Puzo's The Godfather and helped ignite American pop culture's insatiable desire for the Mafia that carries on today.
