Description

For several years, in one European city after another favored by tourists, dead bodies of beautiful women are found. All the victims are between thirty-five and forty-five years old; all have been strangled, and in each case the killer takes the victim’s handbag. It’s clear that all the murders were committed by the same person with a sick psyche. The police give him the nickname “Tourist.” The criminal is unbelievably cunning and leaves no traces.

But this time, in Venice, he makes a fatal mistake with his “chosen one.” The owner of the gorgeous handbag—whom he still managed to kill, despite a harsh resistance—turns out to be an employee of the special services. A flash drive found by the “Tourist” in a hidden compartment of the handbag—containing photos of a dazzling Eastern beauty—deprives him of peace. He decides to make her his next victim.

But now, it’s not only the police on his trail—people with much more serious intentions have taken interest as well…
