La vicenda del Mostro di Firenze costituisce la più lunga inchiesta giudiziaria del nostro Paese: una serie di duplici delitti dal 1968 al 1985, una sentenza finale che lascia casi irrisolti e non convince nemmeno gli stessi magistrati. La prima parte è dedicata al racconto delle circostanze di tutti gli otto duplici omicidi del Mostro di Firenze, e alla ricostruzione, quasi sempre controversa, della loro dinamica. La seconda parte è un excursus nella ramificata gamma di teorie, con i loro pro e i loro contro, sull'identità del (o dei) "serial killer delle coppiette".

In the process of procuring them, he killed two people, and the circumstances of his eventual arrest in the apartment of Ireland's Attorney General nearly brought down the government. The case remains one of the most shocking in Ireland's history. Mark O'Connell has long been haunted by the story of this brutal double murder. But in recent years this haunting has become mutual.

I just knew deep down it would be the moment of peace I had longed for—but as that judge stood to announce the verdict, the emotions that followed were not any I could have ever planned. Truth is . . . nobody ever plans to be a victim.
