Alice Allevi is a young forensic medicine resident. She still has a lot to learn and knows that she is a bit absent-minded, often careless. But of one thing she is sure: she loves her work. Although the institution in which he performs it is a veritable sanctuary of humiliation. And even though her superiors do not think she is cut out for that job. Alice endures it all, encouraged by the affection of her friends, the vital energy of her Japanese roommate, Yukino, and the often unreciprocated relationship of esteem that binds her to Claudio, her colleague and superior (and perhaps something more). To the point of murder. For a medical examiner, a crime scene inspection is routine; a homicide is part of daily work. But not this time. This time, when Alice enters that luxurious Roman apartment and sees the girl’s corpse lying at her feet, her head surrounded by a halo of blood, she realizes that this will not be a case like any other. Because this time he knows the victim.
