La trama
Five months have passed since the Ninfa Dormiente case when Teresa Battaglia and her collaborators are in front of a new particularly macabre crime. The body of a man is found with the distal phalanges of the amputated fingers after death and the broken dung. When other murders show the same characteristics, the commissioner understands to deal with a serial killer following a precise code: the victims, apparently without ties, hide secrets and guilt that the killer considers worthy of punishment.
While the team tries to reconstruct the design that connects the murders, Teresa also faces the return of Sebastiano Corsi, the former violent husband responsible for the trauma that marked her life. The man returned to Udine with the new companion and accused the commissioner of being involved in the threats he is receiving. The case and the confrontation with the past are intertwined with the personal battle of Teresa against Alzheimer, while the memories of the violence suffered are becoming increasingly difficult to manage.
