"Fools Die" is a novel that only Mario Puzo could have written. It is a novel powerful, knowing, and bold enough to encompass America's golden triangle of corruption - New York, Hollywood, Las Vegas. It is a novel that plunges you into the electric excitement of luxurious gambling casinos - the heady arena for high rollers and big-time hustlers, scheming manipulators and fancy hookers - a world of greed, lust, violence, and betrayal, where men ruthlessly use their power, where women ravenously use their sex, where only the strongest survive and fools die.
