Tonino Valerii's only venture into the world of the gialli flick is as much a poliziotteschi crime thriller as it is a bloody murder mystery. George (All The Colours of the Dark, The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh) Hilton plays Inspector Luca Peretti, the cop who is (typically enough) obsessed with his latest case, which kicks off with a novel use for a dredger – decapitation – one of the films stand-out set-pieces.
As Peretti's case gets ever-more-twisted, he finds himself
trapped within a complex web of deceit and a hidden truth that someone is going
to murderous lengths to keep a secret. Eventually it becomes clear that at the
heart of this growing pile of bodies is the missing child of a rich family,
that is populated by an untrustworthy group of liars and cheats – but who is to
blame and why are they resorting to cold-blooded executions?
