Description: Arturo Clemente is sloppily murdered in his Roman apartment by a mysterious slasher. Police inspector Alec Blume has a favorite suspect, but the investigation is already being manipulated by both the Senate and the Fusco crime ring. As the details of the case continue to trickle out, Blume soon realizes he is being watched from on high--and that solving this crime may be the least of his worries. As the mob tightens its grip on the city, and with the killer still at large, Blume's struggle for justice may cost more innocent lives.
