Family of Lies
A forty-year saga of 120,000 words conveying the story of a Melbourne crime family, Family of Lies traces the corrosive effects of succession, power, deceit, and the consequences of choices made across generations. Set against personal and business conflicts, the story builds toward a devastating act of sabotage that may prove the family's undoing.
On his twenty-first birthday, Giovanni Puglisi is forced by his father, Nino, to commit a shocking act of betrayal. Nino views it as the first step in his son's rise to leadership-but for Giovanni, it may mark either the making of him or the beginning of his destruction.
Circumstances soon place the reins of the family business in Giovanni's inexperienced hands-a role he does not want, yet one he seems innately suited for. Impulsive and determined to assert his authority, he ignores the counsel of long-trusted family stalwarts and exploits his closest relationships, setting dangerous consequences in motion.
A world away in Italy, Giovanni's impulsiveness shatters another family, with repercussions that will echo far into the future.
