"A crane cable breaks while loading a ship in Naples, sending a container crashing to the ground and disgorging its grisly contents: the corpses of illegal workers destined for a discreet burial at sea as well as the remains of two Italian citizens from the witness protection program. Assigned to the case is Sabrina D'Avalos, a district attorney whose father, a prominent police officer known for his zealous pursuit of organized crime, was murdered by the mafia. Young and gifted, she is driven to see her father's killers brought to justice."--Provided by publisher.
