Roma è battuta da una pioggia incessante. In un antico caffè, vicino a piazza Navona, due uomini esaminano lo stesso dossier. Una ragazza è scomparsa. Forse è stata rapita, ma se è ancora viva non le resta molto tempo. Uno dei due uomini, Clemente, è la guida. L'altro, Marcus, è un cacciatore del buio, addestrato a riconoscere le anomalie, a scovare il male e a svelarne il volto nascosto. Perché c'è un particolare che rende il caso della ragazza scomparsa diverso da ogni altro. Per questo solo lui può salvarla. Ma, sfiorandosi la cicatrice sulla tempia, Marcus è tormentato dai dubbi. Come può riuscire nell'impresa a pochi mesi dall'incidente che gli ha fatto perdere la memoria?Anomalie. Dettagli.Sandra è addestrata a riconoscere i dettagli fuori posto, perché sa che è in essi che si annida la morte. Sandra è una foto rilevatrice della Scientifica e il suo lavoro è fotografare i luoghi in cui è avvenuto un fatto di sangue.

Quando le strade di Marcus e di Sandra si incrociano, portano allo scoperto un mondo segreto e terribile, nascosto nelle pieghe oscure di Roma. Un mondo che risponde a un disegno superiore, tanto perfetto quanto malvagio. Un disegno di morte. Perché quando la giustizia non è più possibile, resta soltanto il perdono. Oppure la vendetta.Questa è la storia di un segreto invisibile eppure sotto gli occhi di tutti. Questa è la storia di un male antico ed eterno e di chi lotta per contrastarlo. Questa è una storia basata su fatti veri, ispirata a eventi reali: la sfida non è crederci, ma accettarlo. Views: 146
