Many investigations have described the 'grey zone' between crime and finance, made of compliant bankers, unscrupulous brokers, corrupt politicians and second-generation criminals with economics degrees welcomed in the most exclusive circles. But it is hard to give them a face. Here the face is Tommaso's: once an obese boy, a failed mathematician turned juggler of finance, far from lacking good feelings, with an unresolved Oedipus complex and unspeakable acquaintances. Around him moves a world where money rules and deforms, possession is the only measure of value, the body is currency and violence a commercial advantage, and good and evil can no longer be told apart.
