Consigliere (Italian consigliere "counselor", pronounced [konsiʎˈʎɛːre], roughly kohn-seel-YEHR-eh) is a position within the leadership structure of Sicilian, Calabrian and American Mafia. The word was popularized by the novel The Godfather (1972), and its film adaptation. In the novel, a consigliere is an adviser or counselor to the boss, with the additional responsibility of representing the boss in important meetings both within the boss's crime family and with other crime families. The consigliere is a close, trusted friend and confidant, the mob's version of an elder statesman. In some depictions, he is devoid of ambition and dispenses disinterested advice. This passive image of the consigliere does not correspond with what little is known of real-life consiglieri however. By the very nature of the job, a consigliere is one of the few in the family who can argue with the boss, and is often tasked with challenging the boss when needed, to ensure subsequent plans are foolproof.

Plot: Visit the world of Solomon Travi, a successful, polo-playing international attorney. Although still single, he has all of the material possessions he could want; a million-dollar house, A Rolls and a Ferrari. The love of his life, Becky, is wild and vivacious; she brings out the child in him. He is concerned she may not make a good wife as she is so carefree, but his personal world revolves around her presence. Ivanko, an existing client, refers Nicolai, an acquaintance, who requires a visa (L1) in order to conduct business in the United States. Nicolai invests millions of dollars a week for Russian investors. He befriends Solo(mon) and they spend much time together. During one transfer of money to LA via Hungary to New York, $3,000,000 disappear. The Russians want to kill Nicolai so he is changing hotels on a daily basis. As he spoke well of Solomon, the Russians believe Sol! o designed the logistics of the loss. Not quite as scared as Nicolai, or perhaps in denial of the event, Solo does not leave his home. He does however heed the words of Nicolai's Consigliere/bodyguard and conducts a walk-through of his house with a gun every day. Nicolai wants Solo to call the FBI to get Interpol involved; he is unable to as he has no standing in the U.S. on a foreign matter. When he calls the FBI they monitor his house and phones. As a result of something they heard, he is arrested and faces over 100 years on consecutive charges, or 25 if he takes the 'deal'. With a million-dollar cash only bail, his home, cars, and stocks were sold so he could leave custody. Early on in the story, at a staff meeting, an attorney informs him of a case she lost. This was a close friend who lost based on circumstantial evidence. He faced three years in prison. She asked what to tell him and Solo replied that he should put on a long coat and walk in front of a moving car. His world is upside down. One group wants to kill him and the other wants to imprison him. Solo must decide whether he will follow his own advice.
