Until the day he lost his young son, Alessio, to a group of students intent on recreating a centuries-old ritual - and offering up the seventh sacrament to a long-banished god. Alessio Bramante was never seen again.
Fourteen years later, in an arcane shrine by the Tiber known as the Little Museum of Purgatory, a T-shirt belonging to Alessio begins to show fresh bloodstains. No one can understand how the marks have appeared behind the glass. But soon it becomes apparent that Giorgio Bramante is bent upon a terrifying revenge on all those he blames for the loss of his son, and that he numbers Inspector Leo Falcone, a member of the original investigating team, among his targets.
In the depths of the labyrinth he knows better than any man, a distraught father seeks his vengeance on those he hates. And Nic Costa, watching Falcone move relentlessly into the man's merciless grip, realizes the answer must lie in solving a cold case that, like the forgotten Alessio Bramante, has long been regarded as dead and buried for good.
Back in Rome after their adventures in Venice, Costa, Peroni and Leo Falcone are rebuilding their lives. They team up once again when faced with the appearance of bloodstains on a missing boy's T-shirt in a museum exhibit displaying supposed evidence of communication from souls in Purgatory.
