District Attorney Varga is shot dead while picking a sprig of jasmine. Then Judge Sanza is killed. Then Judge Azar. Is this string of murders an individual vendetta or a more sinister plot The charming Inspector Rogas is determined to find out. The pursuit of truth and justice are Rogas's vocation,but his work is frustrated by a system which defies his understanding. He needs a key,a way in,a map,and he is sure that his chief suspect Cres can provide it...The book,written in 1971,uncannily prefigures the Red Brigade's subsequent killing of magistrates and the Catholic-Communist pact of the late 1970s in Italy. Developed under Sciascia's hand in the spirit of a parody,Equal Danger has come to be regarded as a wide-ranging political thriller,one of the masterpieces of the genre.
