Description

Inspector Biagio Mazzeo is the head of a special unit dealing with organised crime. Father figure to his men, he often leads them into trouble. But now Mazzeo is in jail, accused of killing his boss. His right-hand woman is also arrested, and the mafia want their cocaine consignment back. From behind bars Mazzeo has only one way of helping his men: making a deal with a high-powered female officer who promises he will be released if he embarks on a suicide mission to put an end to a war that has already been declared. A gripping tale of violence, vendettas and corruption.
