Inhaltsangabe

An ancient shadow falls over Verona. A locked-room murder in the Sound Archive. And a symbol from the past returning to settle a deadly score.

Months after resolving the Cortesi case, criminologist Adrian Vale’s life has finally found peace. But a single misplaced detail—a volume of poetry subtly shifted on his bookshelf—instills a creeping paranoia: someone has breached his sanctuary.

The nightmare becomes reality when fellow criminologist Mira Lentz delivers chilling news: Professor Ilaria Conforti, director of the Royal Sound Archive, has been found dead inside her locked, high-security office.

It’s an impossible crime. No signs of forced entry. An impregnable security system bypassed. And carved directly into the victim’s wooden desk is a tragically familiar symbol: an empty circle.

It is the signature of Zero. The elusive, ruthless mastermind Adrian thought he had left behind is back—and this time, the target is personal.

Trapped inside the victim’s recorder is an analog cassette with a strict instruction: "Listen. Then destroy." But the recording cuts off at the crucial moment. There is a second tape. A "missing voice" that someone is willing to kill to keep silent.

From the cobblestone streets of Verona to isolated Alpine peaks, Adrian Vale must face a race against time and a hidden bunker holding fifty years of unspeakable secrets. Because Zero isn't just a criminal—it's a legacy of shadows passed down through generations. And to close the circle, Zero demands total surrender.
