About the title
Fifty-year-old Claude Corti is the true king of organized crime in modern Paris: drugs, "human cargo" trafficked from Eastern Europe, counterfeit money, raids, racketeering — Corti's empire runs on sheer violence. But when the crime boss is thrown behind bars for several months, his criminal organization starts to rapidly collapse — is this the result of a planned conspiracy, or simply a paranoid delusion of a disturbed gangster's mind?
