"Dazzling, passionate, a masterwork that ranks with Puzo's best."

"One of his most satisfying works....A thoroughly entertaining
posthumous present from one of the masters of popular fiction."
--Booklist
Mario Puzo's final masterwork. A sweeping epic saga of corruption,
greed, treachery, and sin, The Family is the ultimate crowning
achievement of the #1 New York Times bestselling novelist who gave
the world The Godfather, arguably the greatest Mafia crime novel ever
written. In The Family, Puzo--whom the Washington Post calls, "A
serious American talent"--plunges reader into the colorful tumult of the
Italian Renaissance, immersing them in the roiling intrigues and deadly
affairs of the remarkable family whose name has always been synonymous
with power, corruption, poison, and murder: the infamous Borgias.
