Gallo rosso

Europe is on the brink of lockdown in February 2020. The question of why his girlfriend had to die in an explosion at the Christmas market has haunted Commissioner Kilian for years. He has taken a leave of absence and is pursuing Gallo rosso in Italy, a mysterious mafia boss that no one seems to know. His search takes him to Naples, Rome, Turin, where he encounters baby mafias, prostitutes, and priests. Heinlein, now the police chief in Würzburg, is convinced that his colleague Kilian is chasing a myth. However, after a suicide bombing on an ICE train, he also comes across the name Gallo. His investigations lead him into the dark web and to right-wing networks, even within the police force. Both trails lead to Venice, where Kilian and Heinlein finally meet again in the sealed-off lagoon city.
