Description
A chilling tale of murder and corruption in 1970s Italy. District Attorney Varga is shot dead while picking a sprig of jasmine, followed by the killings of Judge Sanza and Judge Azar. Inspector Rogas is tasked with uncovering the truth behind these gruesome murders. As he delves deeper into the case, Rogas becomes increasingly frustrated by the system's inefficiencies and corruption. He believes that his chief suspect, Cres, holds the key to unlocking the truth. But can Rogas trust him? The pursuit of justice in a deeply flawed system is a daunting task. Written in 1971, Equal Danger is a gripping political thriller that eerily predicted the events of the late 1970s in Italy. This masterful novel has become a staple of the genre, offering a gripping and thought-provoking read for fans of crime and suspense.
