Pogodba

The story begins with three deaths in one night in Rome: first the murder of one of the city's most successful lawyers, then that of a respected surgeon who is said to have treated the country's most wanted criminal, and finally the suicide of a great Mafia boss who had brokered a truce between the Mafia and the state. The killings set new challenges for Commissioner Emanuele Rubino, a member of a special police unit fighting organised crime, and for the investigative journalist Flaminia, both of whom have already paid a high price in their private lives for their fight against the Cosa Nostra. Tracing what lies behind the three deaths leads into the heart of the Mafia's world, among investigators, journalists, politicians and prosecutors bound by ties of love, friendship and work, where the line between the state and the Mafia is blurred.
