Captain Bellodi, a carabiniere officer with a strong sense of justice, investigates in a Sicilian town the murder of a partner in a construction cooperative who refused mafia protection.

For readers of classic crime fiction and Italian literature, as well as those interested in the mafia phenomenon.
