The Sicilian

Michael Corleone's exile in Sicily is ending, but on the instructions of his father, The Godfather, he must bring back to him the young man known as Salvatore Giuliano - if he can find him. At sea amid the treacheries of a brutal and unfamiliar land, Michael must find a way through the labyrinthine deceits that surround him, while Giuliano prepares himself for a final confrontation with Don Croce, Capo di Capi of the Sicilian Mafia. A novel of explosive suspense, heroic action - and evil on an epic scale. In the hands of Mario Puzo's brilliantly sinister talent, the reader comes to know again the terrible magic of the Mafia.

Reviews

An offer of evil and romance that cannot be refused

—— Time

Even more alluring than the characters that made The Godfather a modern-day myth

—— New York Daily News

The Godfather, one of the most entertaining and absorbing popular novels of the postwar period... Puzo's masterpiece

—— Robert McCrum , Observer

A splendid and distinguished blood saga of the Cosa Nostra, the American Mafia, and of the whirl created by five families of mafiosi at war in New York

—— Sunday Times

Puzo's genius was to create a world so thick with personality and acknowledged rules of behaviour, along with its crime and violence, that reading his books becomes a seriously guilty pleasure

—— New York Post

As for fiction, there can only be one choice - The Godfather.

—— The Times

With Child, you can always count on furious action - and a damned good time.

—— Miami Herald

Masterful writing and storytelling...Child makes it look effortless...If there were such a thing as a writer-magician, Lee Child woud be the face above the cloak.

—— Washington Post

Child always puts his heart into the elaborate quasi-military operations he cooks up for Reacher...But there's something even more chilling about those lonesome hours spent riding the Interstate, watching the rundown family farms and commercial strip malls and topless bars go by.

—— International Herald Tribune

Will leave the legion of Reacher addicts satisfied but craving for their next fix.

—— Irish Independent

The most satisfying of all 17 thrillers in the series. The unfolding of events nudges along at just the right rate... toward an authentically gripping climax.

—— Toronto Star
