The Road To Perdition

The basis for the major motion picture, Road to Perdition, is an enthralling crime noir story of revenge, morality, and family loyalty. Michael O'Sullivan is a deeply religious family man who works as an Irish mob family's chief enforcer. After his elder son witnesses one of his father's hits, the godfather orders the death of O'Sullivan's entire family. Barely surviving an encounter that takes his wife and younger son, O'Sullivan and his remaining child embark on a dark and violent mission of retribution against his former boss. This book offers a poignant look at the relationship between a morally-conflicted father and his adolescent son who both fears and worships him.
