Officials in a high government ministry want him to finger someone--anyone--for the murder of an eccentric billionaire whose corrupt dealings enriched some of the most exalted figures in Italian politics. But Oscar Burolo's murder would seem to be not just unsolvable but impossible. The magnate was killed on a heavily fortified Sardinian estate where every room was monitored by video cameras.
