Sizzling Scandals, Murder, and Football: Pirlo's Double Game
Eintracht saw a century's worth of talent in Pirlo's performances.
Get ready for a thrilling ride as bestselling author Ingo Bott serves up another confrontational masterpiece with defense attorneys Pirlo and Mahler! A dance of danger, power, and football - when justice meets the pitch.
Anton Pirlo, a renowned defense attorney in Düsseldorf, finds himself in the middle of a whirlwind when he becomes the prime suspect in a series of murders shrouding local football club, Eintracht. His brother, Ahmed, with a seedy history, ignites chaos when meddling in the football business, aiming to represent prodigious teenager, Serdar Tuncay - a player who has led Eintracht to the Regionalliga and stunning victories, including knocking out fierce rivals, Fortuna Düsseldorf, from the DFB-Pokal courtesy of Tuncay's golden goal.
Navigating this web of treachery and deceit, Pirlo must untangle his family ties, especially from his enigmatic partner, Sophie Mahler. As his brother's dubious dealings escalate, Pirlo finds himself wrestling for justice against the roaring tide of corruption.
Scheming, second-guessing, and heated debate are just the beginning as Pirlo and Mahler dissect their cases in their office, the ammunition being strengthened by their unconventional chatter, which resembles more of a Shakespearean exchange than a professional legal debate. Pirlo's espresso, for instance, is described as nothing short of a "physical assault" by Sophie. To lighten the tension, Pirlo proudly displays an Oasis poster and the Little Red Book in his office, while his state-of-the-art coffee maker keeps spirits high, particularly for Mahler!
"Double Game" is a tantalizing tale that masterfully weaves humor into the grim realities of clan crime in Germany. Armed with wit and impressive storytelling, Bott keeps readers on the edge of their seats, daring them to turn the pages and remain captivated until the very end. Sascha Rotermund's narration enhances the experience, breathing life into the characters and transporting listeners into a world of crime, power, and football.
So, buckle up and get ready for an adrenaline-fueled journey into the murky underbelly of Düsseldorf's criminal underworld, as Pirlo and Mahler take center stage for another edge-of-your-seat case in crime's red-hot territory!
