An explosion pierces the rural silence of Corleone. Young Totò Riina watches his family perish. The roar of the blast marks the beginning of an era. People whisper the name of the new force: the Mafia, Cosa Nostra ("Our Cause" in Sicilian dialect). The villagers begin to push back the capital's criminal underworld, and soon all of Sicily is gripped by fear of brutal terror. Murders follow one after another, in towns and villages, on the coast and in the very center of the island. The Mafia declares war not only on its rivals but also on the authorities, and above all on those who try to fight it. Carabinieri, police officers, prosecutors, and magistrates (investigating judges) all find themselves in the merciless sights of those for whom murder is routine. But the explosion also gave birth to another force: the courage and tenacity embodied by Giovanni Falcone and his associates. In the 1960s, a fierce conflict between law and crime began in Sicily, which would later engulf all of Italy. The story of the great anti-mafia fighter, Giovanni Falcone, a true hero of Italy, is told by one of Italy's finest writers, the author of the international bestseller "Gomorrah."
