Storyline

Arriving in Rome, to present his new novel, the American famous writer Peter Neal (Anthony Franciosa) is at the center of a series of heinous crimes that are directly inspired by his last truculent best seller. Captain Germani asks for his help to put an end to that spiral of blood that, after involving women "with aberrant behavior" like thieves and lesbians, ends up huddling around the same writer, called by the murderer as the "great corruptor".
