The chilling Mafia violence currently sweeping Sicily has spread to Puglia, much to the consternation of Pietro Fenoglio, a local officer of the Carabinieri. Fenoglio, recently jilted by his wife, must simultaneously deal with his personal crisis and the gang wars raging around Bari. Progress on the case has reached a standstill until a Mafia member, accused of killing a child, decides to collaborate, revealing the inner workings of organised crime in the area. The brutal killings are stopped, but the mystery of the boy's murder must still be solved, leading Fenoglio into a world of deep moral ambiguity, where the investigators are hard to distinguish from the investigated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGianrico Carofiglio was born in Bari in 1961 and has worked for many years as a prosecutor specialized in organized crime.
