Synopsis

During an investigation into suspicious financial transactions in Europe, Pierre G. Bosco, a journalist for the ENN television network, is confronted with three questions that severely test his pro-European idealism. Is the euro, a necessity no one loves, destined to unite the EU or cause its disintegration? Will Germany, now the continental superpower, save Europe or end up destroying it for the third time in a century? Will the West, besieged by Russian imperialism, radical Islam, and Chinese expansionism, succeed in maintaining its strategic hegemony over the planet? In a story full of twists and turns, where reality and fantasy, history and current events intertwine, the reader accompanies the protagonist to secret meetings in the seats of global power: from the ECB to the Brussels Commission, from the Elysée Palace to the European Parliament, from the German Chancellery to the White House, from the Government Palace in Riyadh to the Garden of Gardens in Beijing. Meanwhile, Bosco's courageous and increasingly complex investigation is marked by a mysterious trail of blood: what did the journalist uncover that was so shocking to have his loved ones attacked and become the victim of attacks and blackmail himself? In an incredible fresco, where several entirely credible plots converge, Antonio Maria Costa depicts today's global landscape—a world he knows personally, having worked at the top of several international institutions..
