When the body of one of the girls turns up bearing evidence of a satanic ritual, Murray begins to slot together the pieces of the puzzle. But as two more bodies are discovered, fear grips the city and a desperate hunt begins to find a truly terrifying killer before he claims his next victim.

Critics Review
-
'The Devil's Daughters makes good use of its Turin setting and its characters, particularly the real-life figure of the conceited, misguided yet brilliant Lombroso'
