Homicide Squad

As the bodies pile up, can the Homicide Squad find the Dante Killer in time?
Starring Massimo Ghini, Luisa Ranieri and Marcello Mazzarella, this thrilling 6-part series from acclaimed screenwriter Sandro Petraglia (The Octopus Series 3-7) explores the nature of good and evil, love, obsession and the criminal mind.
