Zen

Centring around Italian detective Aurelio Zen, who finds it tough being the only honest cop in town. Detective Zen is sent to a remote village to re-investigate a murder, which may spark a political scandal. Zen is under pressure from the politicians and the Chief of Police, but he would rather be spending time with Tania, the Chief's beautiful assistant. Meanwhile, a gangster is after Zen, seeking revenge.

The death of a famous aristocrat, Umberto Ruspanti, leads Detective Zen into the shadowy world of The Cabal - an organisation more powerful and secret than the Mafia. The Ministry want a quick verdict of suicide, but Zen's not so sure. Meanwhile, things are looking up with Tania.

Detective Zen works against the clock to recover the kidnapped Ruggerio Miletti, a wealthy industrialist with political ties. The involvement of the manipulative family and a beautiful grieving widow complicate matters. Meanwhile, Tania's husband does everything he can to get rid of Zen.
