Someone is systematically burning down the neighborhood Mulligan grew up in, people he knows and loves are perishing in the flames, and the public is on the verge of panic.

All his life, for almost as far back as he could remember, Victor had had a phobia. In prison, inevitably, he reflected on the grotesque way it had begun, about the panics and violent anger. He asked himself, too, why the child of happily married, middle-class parents should have needed to make motiveless and unreasoning attacks on women. Holed up in that house with the girl, he had not meant to pull the trigger. It was panic.

Nel Ponente Ligure c'è una collina che domina la città di Albenga e degrada a terrazze verso il mare. Qui nel II secolo d.C. ha trovato la morte un martire cristiano, San Calocero.

Gli studiosi l'hanno chiamata Martina. Ed è di un'altra Martina, studentessa liceale, il cadavere che Jacopo Bignone e Consuelo Salini, - giunti lì per un servizio giornalistico - trovano in fondo a quella tomba.
