An old, white car sits slanted on a grassy hill with the passenger door lying wide open. A crime scene chalk white circle is pictured in front of the vehicle, with a plastic 'H' card inside. "Eight double murders. Seventeen years of terror. Always the same weapon: a .22 caliber Beretta. One of the longest and most complex investigations in Italian history into the country's first and most brutal serial killer: The Monster of Florence. 

A series based on true events, direct testimonies, procedural documents, and journalistic investigations. All terribly true. Because we believe that telling the truth — and only the truth — is the only way to bring justice to the victims. In a story where there have been many possible monsters over time and through the course of the investigation, our narrative focuses on them — the possible monsters — from their point of view.
