| Summary |
Mio Romagna is certain that his father, Bartolomeo, was executed as the result of a wrongful murder conviction. More than a decade after the crime, Mio, piggybacking on the work of enterprising journalists, pursues the case's key figures, reconstructing a web of lies based on greed, incompetence, and bigotry against immigrants. |
