English Summary/英文概要： The second Leone Scamarcio thriller.
As autumn sets in, the queues outside the soup kitchens of Rome are lengthening, and the people are taking to the piazzas, increasingly frustrated by the deepening economic crisis.
Detective Leone Scamarcio is called to an apparent suicide on the Ponte Sant Angelo, a stone’s throw from Vatican City. A man is hanging from the bridge, his expensive suit suggesting yet another businessman fallen on hard times. But Scamarcio is immediately troubled by similarities with the 1982 murder of Roberto Calvi, dubbed ‘God’s Banker’ because of his work for the Vatican Bank.
Scamarcio’s instincts are soon proved correct when a cardinal with links to the bank is killed. And when US Intelligence warn Scamarcio to drop his investigation, he knows that the stakes are far higher than he first realised.
Ignoring their threats, Scamarcio pushes on, but his progress is being monitored by some of the world’s most powerful men, who will stop at nothing to make sure their dirty work stays under cover.
In breathtaking developments that link 9/11, America’s dirty wars, Vatican corruption, the Mafia, and Italy’s violence against it own people, Scamacio has to deal with responsibilities far above his pay grade.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 利奥尼•斯卡玛奇奥惊悚系列的第二部小说作品。
随着秋天的到来，罗马汤品厨房外的长队也越排越长，人们都喜爱吃披萨，但不断加重的经济危机却也让人们愈来愈沮丧。
探长利奥尼•斯卡玛奇奥被召唤到了一个位于圣天使桥的显而易见的自杀案件案发现场，一颗巨石从梵蒂冈城被投掷而来。一名男子吊死在桥上，他昂贵的西装表明了其是另一名时代危机下的商业牺牲品。然而斯卡玛奇奥却很快发现了这一案件与1982年的罗伯特•卡尔维谋杀案中的诸多相似之处，罗伯特曾因为其为梵蒂冈银行效力而被称为“神的银行家”。
很快，当一名和该家银行有关的红衣主教惨遭杀害后，斯卡玛奇奥的直觉也被论证为是正确的。随着美国中情局警告斯卡玛奇奥放弃调查，他也意识到这其中的风险远远胜过他最初的想象。
斯卡玛奇奥不顾威胁依然推进着案件的调查，但他的进展却实际为世界上权力最强大的男人们操纵着，这些权势阶级将不惜一切代价让他们的肮脏行为永久掩埋。
令人惊叹不已的情节发展，与911事件，美国肮脏的战争，梵蒂冈的腐化，黑手党以及意大利对其人民的暴行等之间的紧密联系，斯卡玛奇奥所承担的责任将远远超过其职责所在。(DC)
