The story of Don Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafia family, inspired some of the most successful movies ever. It is in Mario Puzo’s “The Godfather” that Corleone first appears. As Corleone’s desperate struggle to control the Mafia underworld unfolds, so does the story of his family. The novel is full of exquisitely detailed characters who, despite leading unconventional lifestyles within a notorious crime family, experience the triumphs and failures of the human condition. Filled with the requisite valor, love, and rancor of a great epic, The Godfather is the definitive gangster novel.

When the Brazilian liner Porto Alegre docked in Barbados in 1956, the passengers reveled in the gay carnival-time hysteria ashore, while the few officers left aboard invited a four-man calypso band to liven up the dull shipboard routine. But the smiling musicians were even more adept at cracking the purser’s safe than playing their steel drums, and the Porto Alegre left the friendly Caribbean minus half a million dollars’ worth of gems. A young police officer named Da Silva nailed the thieves, sent them to jail, and waited fifteen years for the release of the last surviving member of the gang to lead him to the well-hidden loot. But prison had changed William Trelawney McNeil, mastermind of the shipboard heist. Once a charming lady killer, now a bitter, half-mad adversary, he leads Da Silva on a danger-laden chase through a green hell where the natives hate the Brazilian detective as much as McNeil himself.

Meet Simon Crane, the hottest hard-boiled antihero since Mike Hammer! Неге’s an ex-cop who’s up to his neck in blood, booty, and blackmail: Number One target in a gangland countdown to murder. The Hit resounds with a tough, ingenious triple-crossing twist — alter all, who would rob the Mafia?

Author Brian Garfield scores a criminal bull’s-eye in this uncompromising thriller that rips the veneer off the Establishment of a sleepy southwestern state, exposing a merry-go-round of murder, vice, and mob control. It all explodes when a Cosa Nostra kingpin is found dead m the living room of his palatial estate. A gaping wall safe discloses the killer’s motive: a missing three million dollars in cash — and a giant political scandal.

The state’s entire political elite is incriminatingly indebted to the murdered mobster, but the bloody trail seems to lead to the door of Simon Crane. A handier suspect couldn’t be found, either by the mob or by the corrupt police. Besides, no one is fool enough to openly accuse a famous political figure of robbery and murder when a desperate ex-cop might solve the mystery to save his own skin. And Crane’s alleged motive is clearly personal: her name is Joanna, a frail, blond ex-Mafia playmate whose one and only fling with the deceased was recorded on film and preserved in the safe’s incendiary archives. Wasn’t that reason enough to kill — for revenge, a king’s ransom, and the intensely private files of a first-class manipulator?

Facing trial by gunpoint either way he turns, Crane parlays his only chance into a deal with Mafia executioners: forty-eight hours to prove his innocence. Forty-eight hours to trap a wily thief and return to the mob with three million in home-grown graft and a payload of political dynamite.

Their curiosity was soon rewarded — with a right to the jaw.THE HONEST DEALER is Frank Gruber’s latest mystery.
