Power Plays on and off the Pitch: Düsseldorf's Charismatic Lawyers in a Deadly Game
During his tenure with Eintracht, Pirlo was hailed as the century's most gifted player.
When it comes to Düsseldorf's high-profile criminal cases, Dr. Anton Pirlo and defense lawyer Sophie Mahler are the go-to duo. From solving a high-society murder to uncovering a web of Nazi conspiracies and criminal clans, their law firm "Recht.schaffen" has made headlines. But a new case brings the stakes higher than ever — this time, it's all about football, power, and a deadly game.
Anton Pirlo, a man with a striking resemblance to Andrea Pirlo, the Italian football legend, has Lebanese roots. His father, before passing away, was known for his bureaucratic services to the community. However, his unscrupulous dealings with the clan life eventually led him to a tragic end.
Pirlo's sister-in-law, Sophie Mahler, keeps a watchful eye on him. Especially when it comes to his questionable dealings with his enigmatic brother, Ahmed. With a mysterious agenda involving a talented 16-year-old football prodigy named Serdar Tuncay, Pirlo's life is about to get more complicated.
Ahmed, who has his eyes set on the football agent business, wants to sign the promising young star, Tuncay, who currently plays for Düsseldorf's Eintracht and helped them clinch the Regionalliga title. Pirlo is hesitant, wary of Ahmed's ambitious plans that are often followed by a trail of chaos.
But Ahmed's plans take a dark turn when the president of Eintracht is found murdered, with Pirlo becoming the prime suspect. As more club officials start dropping like flies, Pirlo finds himself in the center of the storm, under the scrutiny of the media.
Fans of the popular "Pirlo-Mahler" series by bestselling author Ingo Bott will appreciate the fourth installment, "Double Game." Packed with local Düsseldorf flavor, the book delves deep into the world of clan crime and football. With its engaging dialogues and witty wordplay, it promises to be a gripping read, especially in audiobook format, with Sascha Rotermund lending his voice to the tale.
In short, "Double Game" is an addictive thriller that expertly blends crime, football, and drama. With its intricate plot twists, memorable characters, and Populist charm, it's sure to keep readers hooked until the very end.
