Omerta, the Sicilian code of silence, has been the cornerstone of
the Mafia's sense of honour for centuries. Born in the Sicilian
hills, omerta carried the Mafia through a hundred years of change,
but now at the century's end it is becoming a relic from a bygone
age. Honour may be silent - but money talks. New York - a mob boss
is assassinated. His nephew Astorre Viola and the head of the
city's FBI both launch investigations into the murder. But this
time silence spreads like a contagion: the silence of rival gangs,
the silence of crooked bankers, even the silence of the courts. The
world of the Mafia is riven with greed, and Viola knows that now is
the time to claim his destiny...
