La vicenda del Mostro di Firenze costituisce la più lunga inchiesta giudiziaria del nostro Paese: una serie di duplici delitti dal 1968 al 1985, una sentenza finale che lascia casi irrisolti e non convince nemmeno gli stessi magistrati. La prima parte è dedicata al racconto delle circostanze di tutti gli otto duplici omicidi del Mostro di Firenze, e alla ricostruzione, quasi sempre controversa, della loro dinamica. La seconda parte è un excursus nella ramificata gamma di teorie, con i loro pro e i loro contro, sull'identità del (o dei) "serial killer delle coppiette".

Da quelle conversazioni nacque il profiling, l'idea che dietro l'apparente caos ci fosse un metodo e che dunque si potessero prevedere azioni imprevedibili.
