A cinquant'anni, Bill ten Boom si è lasciato alle spalle tutto ciò che credeva essere importante: il suo lavoro di magistrato, il suo matrimonio, persino il suo paese. Eppure, quando viene invitato alla Corte penale internazionale dell'Aia a partecipare al processo per un crimine di guerra commesso undici anni prima in ex Jugoslavia, Boom si rende conto di trovarsi di fronte al caso più scivoloso della sua carriera. Nel 2004, centinaia di rom che vivevano in un campo per rifugiati in Bosnia sono scomparsi nel nulla. Voci di corridoio parlano di un massacro per mano di mercenari al soldo dei serbi o addirittura del governo americano, ma non esiste alcuna prova in merito a questo genocidio. Solo un testimone: Ferko Rinci, l'unico sopravvissuto che dice di aver visto tutto. Ma è affidabile? E il suo avvocato, Esma Czarni, una splendida donna dall'atteggiamento seduttivo, dice la verità? Boom deve interrogarsi sull'integrità di questi e altri personaggi ambigui legati alla vicenda, ciascuno dei quali non si fa scrupoli nel condurre le indagini a proprio vantaggio... Dal tribunale dell'Aia ai villaggi e alle città della Serbia, agli incontri segreti a Washington, Boom deve districarsi tra sospetti, organizzazioni criminali, alleanze e tradimenti di tutti coloro che sono coinvolti in questo caso dai contorni sconcertanti.

Kindle County, 1982. Al termine di un party a casa di Zeus Kronon, influente membro della locale comunità greco-ortodossa, sua figlia Dita, bellissima e anticonformista, viene trovata uccisa nella sua camera da letto. La ragazza era fidanzata con Cass Gianis, il cui padre è l'acerrimo rivale di Zeus, e per questo motivo la loro unione era malvista da entrambe le famiglie. Cass, il cui fratello gemello Paul è agli inizi di una promettente carriera legale, si dichiara subito colpevole dell'omicidio e viene condannato a venticinque anni di reclusione. Allo scadere della pena, Cass è pronto a uscire di prigione, proprio mentre Paul, nel frattempo divenuto senatore, è il candidato favorito per la poltrona di sindaco della Kindle County. Ma il ritorno di Cass può trasformarsi per lui in un'arma a doppio taglio, specie quando il fratello di Dita chiede la riapertura delle indagini, accusando Paul di avere avuto un ruolo nell'omicidio della ragazza. Cosa è successo realmente quella notte di tanti anni prima? È stato davvero Cass a uccidere Dita? E perché? Quale segreto nascondono i due gemelli? A ricostruire la vicenda saranno Evon Miller, ex agente speciale dell'FBI ora a capo della sicurezza dell'azienda dei Kronon, e l'anziano investigatore Tim Brodie, che all'epoca si era occupato del caso. Quella dei Kronon e dei Gianis è la storia di una battaglia infinita e senza esclusione di colpi tra due famiglie che cercano la loro unica e illusoria verità inseguendo una giustizia sempre sfuggente.
