Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, a detective with a background in criminal profiling, is called to investigate. Battaglia is in her mid-sixties, her rank and expertise hard-won from decades of battling for respect in a male-dominated Italian police force. While she’s not sure she trusts the young city inspector assigned to assist her, she sees right away that this is no ordinary case: buried deep in these mountains is a dark history that may endanger a group of eight-year-old children toward whom the killer seems to gravitate. As Teresa inches closer to the truth, she must also confront the possibility that her body and mind, worn down by age and illness, may fail her before the chase is over.

Het ontstond oorspronkelijk uit het kortverhaal van Francesco Verso, werd in 2012 door L.A. CASE Production als audioboek uitgegeven en nu ondergaat het een transformatie tot een motion capture-installatie dankzij Fenyce, een nieuwemediabedrijf van Alessandro Corsetti en Luca Biada.

Flush

Cuando la probé por primera vez, no sabía que sería de mí; desaparecería, quizá moriría y luego volvería a aparecer, pero donde y sobre todo, ¿cómo qué? Nadie sabía nada sobre ello, o peor aún, nadie dijo nada sin perder la noción y sin enfadarse o tropezarse con las palabras, incluidos aquellos que juraban haber sobrevivo a la experiencia más aterradora de sus vidas. Pasaron de las caras que ponían, a una prueba concluyente; eran mucho más fuertes porque todavía estaban vivos. Así que, ¿Por qué iba a querer hacerlo?, ¿Por qué quería someterme a tal tortura? Miré la hora, luego el cartel del club y me dije a mi mismo: Simón ¿estás seguro de que vale la pena?
