Riassunto

He hunts in a landscape ravaged by war. In a country haunted by its past and a city built on tears, he leaves behind the disfigured bodies of young women. No one knows who he is or why he kills. But now the serial murderer they call the Monstrum is being pursued by a policeman who must find the truth: about his killer, his nation, himself--and the dark heart that beats within them all.
From the Paperback edition.
