Duca Lamberti is a medical doctor who has just been released from prison, where he has spent three years for euthanasia. Duca is asked to help an acquaintance's son with alcohol addiction and discovers the issue has been brought on by guilt for not coming to the aid of a prostitute who was later found murdered. Duca will find himself helping the police and uncovering a complex ring of prostitution, pornography, and crime.

From the godfather of Italian noir “A noir writer richly deserving rediscovery.” 
 —Publishers Weekly One balmy spring evening on the outskirts of Milan, a Fiat with two passengers plunges into a canal. At first, their deaths are registered as an accident. But Duca Lamberti, the doctor-turned-detective of Giorgio Scerbanenco’s legendary series, suspects there’s more to it than that. Because that same canal has been the scene of other deaths, and all the incidents have one man in a lawyer with a murky past stretching all the way back to World War II—a man who, in fact, once shared a prison cell with Lamberti. Winner of the most prestigious European crime prize on its original publication in 1966, Traitors to All is classic noir by one of the greatest writers of the genre—a book that lays bare the connections between Milan’s troubled history during the war and its swinging sixties affluence, as well as an utterly absorbing tale of betrayal and revenge.

Un'aula scolastica, una lavagna piena di parolacce e disegni osceni e il cadavere di una giovane donna completamente nuda, orrendamente massacrata di botte, i suoi abiti sparsi dappertutto. La vittima è Matilde Crescenzaghi, fragile e delicata signorina della piccola borghesia dell'Alta Italia,"insegnante di varie materie e anche buona educazione" nella scuola serale Andrea e Maria Fustagni. Un ambiente non molto raccomandabile, visto che spesso gli studenti sono già passati per il riformatorio o vengono da famiglie difficili. A risolvere il caso sarà un personaggio di culto come Duca Lamberti, medico e investigatore, alle prese questa volta con un ambiente insolito, morboso, feroce.
