Nobody can say at first whether the man found bound and naked in a highway motel was murdered. Sergeant Bevilacqua, an unconventional Guardia Civil detective, and Guard Chamorro set out to learn who he was: an employee of a nuclear plant, with relatives, colleagues and a hidden double life. The trail of money and interests behind his death sends them from city to city, and understanding the victim turns out to matter as much as naming a killer.
