Mystery
Rome, 1944. While the Allies are fighting their way up the
Italian peninsula, Rome lives the last days of Nazi
occupation. Their world is falling apart as the German Army,
the Gestapo, and the SS vie for power while holding
glittering and debauched parties. But this is also a time of
Italian partisan attacks, arrests, and mass executions, all
to the sound of Allied artillery bombardment just outside
the walls of the city. Baron Martin von Bora, an officer in
the Wehrmacht, has the complex and delicate task of solving
not one, but three murders. A young German embassy secretary
has "accidentally" fallen to her death from a fourth-floor
window, and a Roman society lady and a headstrong cardinal
of the Roman Curia are found dead in her apartment. The
cardinal is personally known to Bora and, like the officer,
secretly active in the resistance against the Third Reich.
With Italian police inspector Sandro Guidi at his side, Bora
sets off to establish the truth. Different as they are, the
two men confront crime, war, and dictatorship in the
awareness that the dignity of man comes at a price beyond
all imagination.
