Zusammenfassung:	The great basilica of St. Peter's has long held a bizarre fascination for those intent upon ending their lives. But this time the man who has jumped to his death could prove most embarrassing to the Vatican, which is why Aurelio Zen must reluctantly leave his lover's bed to investigate Prince Ludovico Ruspanti's apparent suicide. Caught between Italian Government equivocations and Vatican City intrigues, Zen is willing to confirm the suicide verdict despite solid evidence that the Prince did not make his fatal jump of his own volition. But rumors implying the involvement of a mysterious organization called the Cabal forces a genuine investigation on the part of the beleaguered Zen, who sees his own career in danger of taking a tumble as lethal as the one that killed the Prince. Two more deaths and a unique case of mistaken identity further convince Zen that he has become the pawn in a game he can't afford, whose players are some of his country's most powerful - and dangerous - men. Lovelorn and hapless, Zen pursues crazy leads and zany temptations from Rome up to Milan. Waiting for him there is a diabolic aristocrat, a cutting-edge fashion statement - and a wild confrontation with a killer high above the glittering Galleria, one of the world's most glamorous shopping malls
