THE CONTRACT (CRIME NOVEL)

THE CONTRACT (Pogodba)

The first body of a man is discovered by the police in a prestigious city

quarter, in the villa belonging to one of the most successful lawyers in

Rome. This murder is followed by a traffic accident at the other end of

Rome and a suicide of a mafia boss in prison. But coincidences exist

only in novels, says the chief police investigator. By examining the events

behind the scenes, Pogodba, through juicy language, lively dialogues and

unexpected plot twists takes the reader into the very heart of mafia

activities. The detectives, prosecutors, journalists and politicians often share

past connections. Their love affairs and friendships are interwoven with their

professional duties, and the lines between where the state ends and the

mafia begins, are very fuzzy.
