It is 1955. Michael Corleone has won a bloody victory in the war among New York's crime families. Now he wants to consolidate his power, save his marriage, and take his family into legitimate businesses. But in doing so, he must confront his most dangerous adversary yet, Nick Geraci, a former boxer who worked his way through law school as a Corleone street enforcer, and who is every bit as deadly and cunning as Michael. Their personal cold war will run from 1955 to 1962, exerting immense influence on the lives of America's most powerful criminals and their loved ones...Sweeping from New York and Washington to Las Vegas and Cuba, The Godfather: The Lost Years is the spellbinding story of America's criminal underworld in the middle of the twentieth century and its involvement with the worlds of politics, the law and entertainment. Mark Winegardner brings an original voice and vision to Mario Puzo's mythic characters while creating several equally unforgettable characters of his own. His book stands on its own as a triumph - a tale about what we love, yearn for, and sometimes have reason to fear...family
