1945, Lake Como. Mussolini and his mistress are captured and shot by local partisans. The precise circumstances of Il Duces death remain controversial.
1992, Milan. Colonna, a depressed hack writer, is offered a fee he cant resist to ghostwrite a book. His subject: a fledgling newspaper, which happens to be financed by a powerful media magnate. As Colonna gets to know the team, he learns of the editors paranoid theory that Mussolinis corpse was a body double and part of a wider Fascist plot. Its the scoop the newspaper desperately needs. The evidence? Hes working on it.
Its all there: media hoaxes, Mafiosi, the CIA, the Pentagon, blackmail, love, gossip, and murder. A clash of forces that have shaped Italy since World War II — from Mussolini to Berlusconi. Farcical, serious, satiric, and tragic Le Point, France, Numero Zero is the work of a master storyteller.
