Florence, in the spring of 2000, marked the momentous convergence of seven hundred years since Dante Alighieri penned his renowned masterpiece, "Inferno." Filled with a profound disgust for the corruption prevalent among his contemporaries, the poet resolved to exact retribution through his magnificent poem. This captivating and evocative mystery thriller unfolds as a series of gruesome murders take place in rapid succession. Despite the efforts of the Italian police, the trail of the culprit seemed to lead nowhere. Determined to unravel the mystery, Maria Farrell, the niece of the first victim, Peter Farrell, takes matters into her own hands. Despite never having met her uncle, a renowned art history specialist who spent most of his life in Florence, Maria leverages her professional skills and profound knowledge of Shakespeare's theatre to investigate the murders. Caught in a web of intrigue and struggling to comprehend the mindset of the Italians she encounters, Maria embarks on a quest to follow "the Dante trail," convinced that someone in Florence, consumed by an obsession with Dante, may have carried out the punishments described in the Inferno centuries ago.

Through her diligent investigation, Maria uncovers profound insights into her uncle Peter and the intricate tapestry of friends in his inner circle. Moreover, her growing friendship with one of the detectives involved in the murder case prompts Maria to reevaluate her priorities in life. With a newfound sense of purpose, she resolves to return to Florence shortly to reunite with her new friend and further explore the enigmatic persona of "Dark Dante."
