October 2006. In a few months Romania will join the European Union. Meanwhile, the Italian town of Turin has been rocked by a series of deadly crimes involving Albanians and Romanians. Is this the latest eruption of a clan feud dating back centuries, or is the trouble being incited by local organized crime syndicates? Enzo Lagana, born in Turin to Southern Italian parents, is a journalist with a wry sense of humour who is determined to get to the bottom of this crime wave. But before he can, he has to settle the issue of Gino, a pig belonging to his neighbour.
