The affair revolves around the newsroom of the Sicilian RAI. The director, Michele Caruso, neglects to give the news of the notice of investigation to Manlio Caputo, son of the leader of the Sicilian left-wing, accused of the murder of his girlfriend, Amalia Sacerdote, also an important surname because her father is the general secretary of the Sicilian Regional Assembly. The girl was found dead in her home with her skull smashed by a heavy ashtray, and that corpse creates no small amount of problems, due to the political rivalries of the couple’s parents and the obvious connections to the island’s economic, judicial, journalistic and political powers.
«The labyrinthine development of the plot knots and entangles everyone. His blackest novel».
