Omerta written by Mario Puzo performed by Joe Mantegna on Cassette (Abridged)

Omertà is the Mafia code of silence. So when an important mob boss is assassinated no one will talk. His nephew and the head of the New York FBI begin their own investigations into his murder, but the silence spreads like a contagion - the silence of rival gangs, the silence of crooked bankers - even the silence of the courts... But the world of the Mafia is a world without integrity and riven with greed, where everyone has a price.
