“All roads lead to Rome.” What is this? Dream city or dream city?.. How are the most notorious murders of the 20th century connected with it? And what is worse - a crime or the punishment that follows it - becoming an ordinary person, mired in the quagmire of everyday life, without the right to a dream? But the brighter the dream, the easier it is to pull the trigger. The closer Rome is. It was Rome, by an eternal coincidence of circumstances, that opened the eyes of the heroine of the novel to her true destiny. Every time she found herself in Rome, she came so close to her dream that it seemed that if you stretch out your hand, you will reach it. But dreams have never been so easy, and even more so with women’s dreams. And now she was already peering into the distance again, looking through the optical sight for a new victim, constantly asking herself: “And why do I have to do God knows what to achieve my dream?”
