The Bad Guy

The State on one side, Cosa Nostra on the other, Nino and Teresa have reopened negotiations with the State, and for Nino the goal is clear: to get to the archive, at any cost. But is it really by reaching that truth that Nino will find his peace? Unfortunately, he hasn't yet come to terms with his new enemies, who are, if anything, more ruthless than those of the past.

Nino and Teresa intend to wage war against the state. To do so, they need the support of the entire Suro family of sisters and cousins, a myriad of mice, and eight hundred copies of The Count of Monte Cristo. Meanwhile, Leonarda continues her search for Balduccio Remora, while a repentant Luvi searches for a way to find evidence of the state's collusion and bring justice.

Suro has been arrested; the target of Nino Scotellaro, a former magistrate, has been accomplished. But can Nino's thirst for truth and revenge really end with this arrest? This is what Nino asks himself as he returns home for the showdown with Luvi, while his sister Leonarda searches for Balduccio Remora, unaware that her brother is behind the name.

Nino runs away with Suro, an unlikely traveling companion, hoping to return to his old life. However, he hasn't reckoned with the lengths to which those who choose to protect the corrupt part of the state are willing to go. And above all, he hasn't reckoned with the fact that Luvi's life is about to collide with his own.
