Fools Die is a 1978 novel by Mario Puzo. Played out in the worlds of gambling, publishing and the film industry, Merlyn and his brother Artie obey their own code of honor in the ferment of contemporary America, where law and organized crime are one and the same.[1] Set in New York, Hollywood, and Las Vegas, Mario Puzo considered Fools Die to be his personal favorite[2]. The paperback rights to the books were sold in 1978 by the publisher, G. P. Putnam's Sons, to New American Library for a then record $2.55 million.[3]
