This is the story of the clash of two godfathers. The first was Don Antonio Luca, head of the Mafia in Sicily, whose brother went to the electric chair in Chicago in 1929, leaving Luca hating the Americans.
The second godfather was the legendary prince of gangsters, Lucky Luciano, who was sitting out World War II in the penitentiary.
In the summer of 1943, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, picked Major Harry Carter, who'd met Luca and knew Sicily well, to put before Lucky Luciano a proposal he couldn't refuse. The rest is superb action in Higgins' manner, with the fateful meeting of the American and Sicilian Mafia bosses.
