L’ultima via d’uscita

1936: year XIV in the Fascist Era. The president of the Court of Milan receives a request from the Foreign Ministry headed by Galeazzo Ciano: to reopen a cold case involving the murder of the Oppendorfs, a power couple of rich Swiss industrialists. Two criminals had been tried and convicted for their murder back in 1917, in the throes of World War I. 
Why should the case be reopened after twenty years? And why is it entrusted to a low-level investigative judge of the likes of Arturo Ridolfi, a disabled war veteran who normally deals with cases of theft, brawls and swindles? Why are the powers that be still trying to suffocate the Truth?
Riccardo Targetti is a prosecutor at the Court of Milan who specializes in financial crimes. A swimming champion in his youth, he competed in the Munich Olympics in 1972 and witnessed the massacre of Italian athletes first-hand. Over the course of his career he has handled trials involving organized crime and economic crimes such as the bankruptcy of the television financier Giorgio Mendalla in 1980 and the case of Piero Schlesinger, president of the Banca Popolare di Milano, in 1997.
