Longanesi
A man is found dead in the woods on an icy December day. The case is handed to Teresa Battaglia, a police inspector specialized in profiling, a job which sees her analyze the worst human instincts day in and day out, while she herself harbors a secret she can never confess, one that is crucial to her personal life and her career. In the fictional village Travenì high in the mountains, Teresa pursues a killer whose modus operandi is so inhuman it staggers the imagination, yet tidily ritualistic at the same time.
