With the help of his good friend, the eternal medical student Malpomena de Vecchio and the former Commissioner Gruber from Munich, he takes up the fight against crime in his town. The rather unconventional investigator with in-depth knowledge of art history has a supernatural disposition, but also a very down-to-earth pragmatism.

Reviews

Tilmann P. Gangloff summarized the basic plot as follows: "Traffic policeman Roberto Rossi (Leonardo Nigro) is still vying with the incoming German ex-Commissioner Gruber (Hannes Jaenicke) for the favor of the attractive Baroness Malpomena del Vecchio (Katharina Wackernagel) which, however, immediately senses an intention to couple behind every masculine courtesy; In addition, the "Poliziotto", as the novel by Uli T. Swidler is called, is hindered in its investigations by its boss (Tonio Arango). "But he said," Leonardo Nigro embodies his Roberto [...] with a smooth sovereignty, which makes it look like a late federal answer to Russell Crowe. His understatement is much more substantial than the solid humor with which Arango has to equip the police chief. Moments like the one when the dead man leans against an olive tree and only tips over when an olive falls on his head are far more original than its mishaps. As before, the regularly interspersed Italian words […] [which if necessary] serve to refresh the profanity vocabulary are still superfluous. Gruber provides a coherent explanation for his move to Italy: Even his twenty years of fighting the Mafia could not rob him of his love for this country. "
