Overview

March 16, 1978 the former Italian prime minister Aldo Moro is kidnapped in Rome. The terrorist group, the Red Brigades, are blamed. But did they do it? Or did they do it alone? Questions swirl around the event in the world's press. When Britain's M16 are given an opportunity for one of their top spies to infiltrate the Red Brigades, they send the Ulsterman Ross Macrory, posing as an IRA expert in remote-controlled bombing. Right from the day of his arrival in Rome, when his car is followed to the Red Brigades safe house, what appeared to be a straightforward, if risky, assignment-to get the names and whereabouts of Red Brigades members-turns dangerous. The risks pile up when Macrory discovers that he is not the only one playing a double role in Rome. The millionaire entrepreneur; the unconventional communist handyman; the IRA hitman; the Italian anti-terrorist policeman; the English travel agent; the enigmatic young woman from Belfast: are they all playing double roles, Janus figures, with hidden faces? Can he trust any of them? Too many questions, too many possible answers, too many people wearing two masks, Janus figures, opening and closing doorways. Macrory finds himself entangled in a widening web of duplicity, lies, and international intrigue whose strands extend far beyond the borders of Italy and reach the most powerful men in a country collapsing into political chaos
