How do you kill someone inside a sealed room of mirrors, leaving the body arranged with geometric precision and a single, tiny trace of disturbed dust?
An abandoned amusement park on the outskirts of Verona holds a chilling secret. When night watchman Renzo Contin discovers an unusual crack in the house of mirrors, he finds the lifeless body of Livia Corradi, a seventy-three-year-old former social worker, inside the central chamber. The woman has been arranged with unnatural care: her gray coat perfectly aligned, her hands folded across her lap, in a scene completely devoid of fingerprints.
Inspector Bendetti and investigative consultant Adrian Vale are faced with a case that defies logic. The victim spent thirty years working in child protection, but her life conceals deep shadows. Amid dusty archive files, a former official destroyed by an old investigation, and an anonymous phone call received from a ghost SIM card, the investigation becomes increasingly claustrophobic. The autopsy confirms a chilling execution: slow asphyxiation caused by prolonged pressure against the victim's face.
As every geometric and structural clue points toward a hidden entrance known only to someone familiar with the amusement park's secrets, Adrian must confront a cold, meticulous mind. If you love investigative mysteries in which every logical and psychological detail conceals a deadly deception, prepare to follow this investigation all the way to the final page.
