“Aenigma” is set in Milan, a city that suddenly finds itself plunged into horror.
“It's a day like any other. And they are customers like any other: an elderly couple, a young mother, a shy stockbroker. But as soon as they enter the bank, they transform into efficient and ruthless criminals. They shoot the security guards without hesitation and demand a large sum of money. A few seconds later, in the large, silent lobby of the building, the footsteps of a man dressed in black echo. Without saying a word, he takes the loot and leaves. However, he does not flee. He waits for the police. However, the officers who arrest him and put him in the patrol car will never arrive at the police station... There is something deeply disturbing about the actions of these ordinary, seemingly harmless people. It is as if the enemy is everywhere, and evil lurks even in the most innocent souls.
Commissioner Davide Ganz immediately realizes that he is facing an unprecedented case that raises too many questions. And to find the answers, Ganz will be forced to leave behind everything he thinks he knows about the dark paths of crime and venture into the unfathomable labyrinth of the mysterious man's mind, who is only at the beginning of his work...”
