Fools Die by Mario Puzo
From the blockbuster author of The Godfather comes this bold international bestseller about the feverish world of a big-time gambler. Merlyn and his brother, Artie, obey their own code of honor in the ferment of contemporary America, where law and organized crime are one and the same. Set within America's golden triangle of corruption and excess--New York, Hollywood, Las Vegas--the novel plunges into the glittering and ruthless worlds of gambling, publishing, and the film industry, where greed, lust, and violence hold sway. As high rollers, hustlers, and scheming manipulators use power, sex, and betrayal to win, the strongest survive--but fools die. This is a novel only Mario Puzo could have written.Mario Puzo was born in New York and attended the New School for Social Research and Columbia University after serving in the military during WWII. His critically regarded novels The Dark Arena and The Lucky Pilgrim came before his best-selling novel The Godfather. Fools Die was published of 1978, followed by The Sicilian, The Fourth K, and The Last Don, the second book in his Mafia trilogy. Mario Puzo also penned a number of screenplays, including those for Earthquake, Superman, and all three Godfather films, for which he won two Academy Awards. He died in July 1999, at the age of 78, at his home on Long Island, New York, just after finishing the manuscript for Omerta.
