GANADOR DE LOS TRUE CRIME AWARDS 2024 Jack Kelly es un desgastado agente de la dea, cuyo trabajo consiste en olfatear dinero. Antes de pensar en su jubilación o en un cargo de escritorio que le permita descansar más, decide aceptar una última misión: el Proyecto Casandra. Con el fin de desmantelar una operación de tráfico de dinero, drogas y armas a través de diversas fronteras, la vida de Jack Kelly colisionará con personajes amenazantes y dispuestos a morir por sus ideales. Salvatore Pititto es el capo de una mafia italiana, cuya ambición lo lleva a forjar lazos con un peligroso cártel de drogas colombiano. Mustafa Badreddine es un temido terrorista que ha escapado una y otra vez de la ley para cumplir su última misión en la dictadura de Siria. Estos tres hombres, criados bajo contextos muy distintos, escapan el uno del otro solo para darse cuenta de una cruel realidad: pueden ser destruidos o traicionados por aquellas instituciones a las que juraron devoción, ya sea el Gobierno, la mafia italiana o el grupo terrorista Hezbollah. Sus vidas y hazañas entre 2015 y 2016 dan forma a Sombras del crimen , un thriller que parece ficción, pero que es una historia real.
