In the final chapter of The Godfather, Mario Puzo writes: “The bloody victory of the Corleone Family was not complete until a year of delicate political maneuvering established Michael Corleone as the most powerful Family in the United States.”

The Godfather Returns begins in 1955, with the story of that “year of delicate political maneuvering.” Author Mark Winegardner vividly brings to life the missing parts in the story of the Family Corleone by describing the events between the end of Puzo’s Godfather and the beginning of Francis Ford Coppola’s movie sequels.
