The Last Don
Mario Puzo
Mario Puzo's novel is the story of the last great American crime family,
the Clericuzio, their dealings in Hollywood and Las Vegas, and the
personal war between two blood cousins. By reading about the family's
operations, we also learn how casinos beat the odds and how studios wield
their power. The irony is that in Puzo's unique moral universe, Hollywood
is just as corrupt as the mob.
