Montalbano investigates the crime of a young woman, whose corpse is found naked half wrapped in a towel soaked in blood, the sign of a heinous crime committed with unspeakable violence, in the entrance hall of a building. Trying to understand what drove her to drag herself there, right in that building, Montalbano suspects that the woman is a prostitute from Eastern Europe and speculates that the Cuffaro clan, which manages the prostitution market, is responsible for her death. But the story gets complicated and the commissioner himself becomes the object of an attack which he luckily escapes. Investigating the murderer, he finds an accomplice among the condominiums who has resumed the party, with politicians and notables of the country, in which the girl died. The woman had been stabbed when she wanted to stop and her tormentors had not accepted. Wounded, she had managed to drag herself to the building where the cameraman (a collaborator of Niccolò Zito who supplemented his earnings) lived, since the two had had an affair. He is killed in turn, but he had time to send a letter to the police station explaining everything. In the video Montalbano recognizes from a detail the mayor of the town (who has made morality his slogan), and goes to announce his future indictment. The acquaintance of an elderly retired judge, obsessed with the review of all the trials he has celebrated, is also intertwined with this investigation, to be sure that he has never been influenced in the judgment by his own personal problems. A disturbing encounter, which leaves Montalbano with many questions about the commitment and the burden of seeking the truth and judging it.
