The Ivory Tower

Marra Paladini is a former patient of a special psychiatric clinic nicknamed 'The Structure'. There she contemplated how she would live her new life in freedom. And now she lives just that way. Marra calls it the Ivory Tower -... walls made of white boxes, drastically limiting the space of the apartment from which she almost never leaves. She wants to forever separate herself from the world and compares the Tower to a mouth that can start chewing her at any moment. Marra is fine with this; she wants it. But one small damp spot on the ceiling disrupts this strange plan. A leak from the apartment above. Because of it, the Tower will come to an end. Marra goes up to her neighbor and… discovers him dead. He was killed using a plant toxin that she knows well… Known because she is actually Mariella Pirano, the Poisoner from Sestri Levante. Thirteen years ago, in a fit of madness, Mariella poisoned her entire family - her husband and her young son and daughter. For which she ended up in 'The Structure'. The neighbor's death means that someone has learned about her new identity. And wants to frame her. After all, everyone who has ensured the Poisoner's life under the guise of Marra Paladini knows who she is, what she did, and how she did it…
