A sequel you can't refuse

In this Godfather novel and in the previous one, Winegardner is like an expert restorer of a painting by an Old Master. You may think you know the painting well and appreciate its subtleties. You may assume it holds no more surprises. Winegardner, though, through his fine style, craft and attention to character, sheds new light and adds greater depth to the familiar.

What's more, Winegardner is a master plotter. The novel zips along. Readers who aren't familiar with the Godfather saga can jump right in without missing a beat. Hard-core Godfather fans, though, will find great pleasure in Winegardner's subtle references and attention to minor details from the saga.
