A city on edge.
A detective framed.
An enemy hiding in plain sight.

A series of bizarre incidents at the Roman Forum leaves victims drugged and bloodied, with no memory of what happened. When a video of a grotesque orgy surfaces, Rome’s political landscape implodes.

At Pompey’s Theatre, someone assaults RAI News correspondent Teresa Conti and leaves her for dead.

Detective Luca Meroni is the prime suspect.

With the city turning against him, Meroni must untangle a web of political ambition, manipulation, and betrayal. To clear his name, he must confront the enemy within, and the ghosts that have never stopped hunting him.
