Synopsis

Beneath the dazzling masks and vibrant festivities of Venice's Carnevale, a series of chilling murders casts a shadow over the city of canals. When American tourist Betsy Noakes is mysteriously killed, Detective Luca Conti and his partner, Nino Greco, are thrust into a race against time. As more victims emerge - each with a haunting connection to Venice's thriving tourism industry - the detectives unravel a sinister web of secrets that threatens to tear apart the delicate balance of the city. From the grandeur of historic palazzos to the labyrinthine backstreets, The Masked Threat explores the intersection of tradition and modernity, privilege and survival. As the past and present collide, the city's famed beauty becomes the backdrop for its darkest hour. Will Luca and Nino unmask the killer before the heart of Venice is forever scarred?
