For over three decades, a serial killer stalked lover's lanes around the city of Florence, killing and mutilating victims with chilling violence. Enter thriller writer Douglas Preston, who is pursuing his dream of raising his children in Italy. His dream is shattered when he learns that one of the "Monster" killings took place near his new home. Soon the fiction writer is investigating the crimes, with help from coauthor Mario Spezi. Dennis Boutsikaris navigates Italian names and places with ease as all the chief suspects are acquitted or released from prison. He also shows impressive talent in later scenes when Preston and Spezi's continued investigation compels prosecutors to save face by jailing Spezi and interrogating Preston for obstructing justice.
