The Sicilian




It is set at the end of Michael Corleone 's two-year exile in Sicily , and focused on the story of a legendary bandit named Salvatore Guiliano and his run-ins with the local Capo di Capi, Don Croce Malo. Michael has been told by his father Vito that he must escort Guiliano safely back to America with him.

The novel's plot is based on the supposedly real-life exploits of a Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Giuliano (the change in spelling appears to be deliberate on Puzo's part).

In 1987, it was made into a movie, directed by Michael Cimino and starring Christopher Lambert .
