As a new collection is unveiled, and the wealthy rub shoulders with the glamorous, a strangled body is discovered slumped on a bed - a single orchid by its side. When Inspector De Vincenzi is called in to investigate, the brilliant detective is puzzled. Why is the owner Cristiana behaving so suspiciously? And what is her estranged ex-husband doing there? As further corpses are found, each accompanied by an orchid. De Vincenzi must deal with dirty tricks and grasp the slipperiest of clues in order to uncover the real killer.
