One warm spring night, a young woman is walking down the middle of the highway between Bari and Taranto, naked and drenched in blood. When her body is found a few hours later by a multistorey carpark, her identity is revealed: she’s Clara Salvemini, the oldest daughter of a prominent local family of real estate developers. It looks like a suicide, but is it? How involved was Clara in her father's business? And did her relationship with her three siblings have anything to do with her death?
