Il Maestro di Lingue

Synopsis

Perugia. For several days now, a serial killer dubbed "The Tongue Master" has been terrorizing the city with a series of heinous crimes. The victims are brutally mutilated—their tongues surgically removed—and their bodies meticulously repositioned as if they were peacefully asleep. Maurizio Modesti, an aspiring mystery novelist searching for inspiration for his next book, becomes deeply involved in the investigation led by his long-time friend, Police Commissioner Marco Giacchera. Meanwhile, Mara Fraticelli, a determined crime reporter on a quest for the truth, conducts her own parallel investigation. Her path will inevitably intertwine with the official police inquiry, leading them into the dark heart of the mystery.
