Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Three years have passed since Renzo Guidici attempted to kill Gabriele D'Annunzio in the final days of the Fiume occupation. Renzo now works for Mussolini at the Interior Ministry in Rome, pursuing anarchists and others considered threats to the new Fascist regime. Meanwhile, powerful leaders within the Fascist Party, including Roberto Farinacci, are growing impatient with the compromises Mussolini makes to consolidate his position as prime minister.
