Celý příběh začíná na konci války a důsledky tehdejších dějů se projevují v současnosti. Hlavní hrdiny, vyšetřující soudkyni Elenu Fiorini a anglického novinářeAndy Chapmana, zavede pátrání po vrahovi „Rudého kněze“ mezi neofašisty, do nejvyšších pater politiky i do Vatikánu a jeho tajných archivů.
