A crime story driven by revenge. From the author of The Godfather, Mario Puzo, this unpublished novel, originally written under the pseudonym Mario Cleri, transports us to World War II. Mike Rogan, thanks to his prodigious memory and talent for deciphering codes, joins the Intelligence Section of the American Army. After the Allied landing in France, he is sent to Europe, but an error leads him, along with his wife Christine, to the hands of the Gestapo in Munich, where they suffer extreme violence. To save his wife, Rogan reveals the American codes, but his captors, after announcing Christine's death, shoot him. However, he survives and, ten years later, in 1955, begins his revenge.
Mario Francis Puzo was an American author and screenwriter. He wrote crime novels about the Italian-American Mafia and Sicilian Mafia, most notably The Godfather (1969), which he later co-adapted into a film trilogy directed by Francis Ford Coppola. He received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the first film in 1972 and for Part II in 1974. Puzo also wrote the original screenplay for the 1978 Superman film and its 1980 sequel. His final novel, The Family, was released posthumously in 2001.
