Formule mortali

The Monteverde Five’s first case, delving not only into the depths of a criminal mind, but into our entire society, which conceals its most ruthless instincts in full view.

During a sweltering Roman summer, in the Monteverde district, the amputated limbs of a man are found arranged in the pattern of a well-known physics formula. The brutal murder disturbs the peace of the area and, above all, upsets the precarious balance of Chief Inspector Ansaldi, who, by being transferred to the capital, had hoped for a respite from the horrors he witnessed during his long career in the police. Meticulous and sensitive, his great humanity makes him prone to anxiety and panic attacks. Despite that, he is always an uncompromising professional who never shies away from duty: he will find the killer, no matter what it costs him. But first he must work out how to create a team spirit with the officers in his investigation squad, who are as frail as he is. Together, they will become the Monteverde Five.
