Lolita Lobosco investigates the murder of a beautiful woman who has been missing from home for over a week: Bianca Empoli. The woman is an established musician who, unbeknownst to her husband, Vito Loconsole, has rented an apartment to study and prepare for her solo concerts. And that's where her body was found by the neighbors. So Lolita finds herself digging into the life of Bianca, her age, and confronting the woman's unusual choices. Her death appears to her as the bitter epilogue of a life so rewarded by success as marked by loneliness. And the discovery of the truth will be even more bitter for our beautiful policewoman.

The day after a class reunion Lolita is awakened by the news of the death of Vittorio, her former classmate. It seems to be a suicide, but this version does not satisfy Lolita's investigative acumen, who decides to further investigate the case, which is already destined to be closed. With determination and stubbornness Lolita thus manages to shed light not only on the mysterious end of Vittorio but on a wider and more complex scenario, where money, corruption and death are the masters. And above all, she will be able to clarify her feelings and discover an unexpected truth about her father.
