Not even a wire fence can stop terrorism. In the Babel confusion of modern-day migration, anything is possible!
André Calvi, the protagonist of Tamás Frei's four successful books so far, always said: in the end, the bad guys win. According to Marco Boretti, the new protagonist, the unscrupulous are smart!

Marco Boretti, the Florentine archaeologist of Hungarian descent through his mother, hardly believed that his profession would lead him to a key role in a complicated case in the middle of the European migrant crisis, in which nothing is as it seems.
