The Last Don (by Mario Puzo) app for iPhone and iPad

THE LAST DON (unabridged) by Mario Puzo of "The Godfather" fame was produced by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).
___________________
The last don is Domenico Clericuzio, a wise and ruthless man who is determined to see his heirs established in legitimate society but whose vision is threatened when secrets from the family’s past spark a vicious war between two blood cousins. This is a mesmerizing tale that takes us inside the equally corrupt worlds of the mob, the movie industry, and the casinos, where beautiful actresses and ruthless hit men are ruled by lust and violence, where sleazy producers and greedy studio heads are drunk with power, where crooked cops and desperate gamblers play dangerous games of betrayal, and where one man controls them all…
