'The Sleeping Nymph': a work of art of magnetic beauty, painted by
a young partisan fighter during the last days of the Second World
War. A painting carrying a shocking secret hidden in the red
pigment on the canvas, made with the blood of a human heart. But
whose heart? There is no body, no confession. Only that faint trace
of blood. And that's what leads commissioner Teresa Battaglia -
herself hiding an unspeakable truth - to the Resia Valley, in the
north eastern part of Italy: a perfect genetic enclave protected
for centuries from the outside world. The valley and the portrait
are the only clues for a murder that occurred more than 70 years
before. A red thread leading to the shadow of someone hell-bent on
protecting a sacred secret.
