In the chaos of a multiple pile-up just outside Parma, Italy, the burned body of a young woman is found at the side of the road whose death has no apparent link to the carnage. The dead woman is identified as Nina Iliescu, a Romanian immigrant whose beauty had enchanted a string of wealthy lovers. Temptress, muse, angel--she was all things to all men. Will Commisario Soneri be able to unravel the mystery behind the death of such an enigmatic beauty? From the tensions with the Roma population to the dark side to the Catholic church, Valerio Varesi shines a harsh light on the divisions in Italian society, in this, the third instalment of his thrilling crime saga.
