In a way, I would have to agree that Omerta may not have been the best title for this book, but is sorta works..
The whole book has a different flair from his other novels. In this one, the FBI and police seem to be very much a part of the mafia scene, unlike in any other act. This is a violation of the Omerta, stating that official authority cannot be involved in the activities of the mafia. It also has flashbacks to the time of old Sicily where Don Zeno and Aprile spent their time.
Technically speaking, the concept of the Omerta is portrayed, but I disagree with it being the primary title. No one was shown directly breaking the omerta or even specifically mentioning it so perhaps a better title would've been in order, but I agree with Don Sonny Corleone that the current title probably attracts more fans...
