Plot

Anna Lou, a 16-year old girl, disappears in the remote town of Avechot, in the Italian Alps. The expert investigator Vogel is called in to lead the case. Vogel is famous for creating sensational media coverage around the cases he investigates. In fact, Avechot newspapers and television stations bear down relentlessly on Loris Martini, a local school professor who is charming but deeply in debt, and who becomes the prime suspect. But the truth turns out to be more convoluted: Martini is later cleared when it is revealed that Vogel falsified evidence, putting the professor's blood on the girl's backpack. Once cleared, Martini is granted compensation of 1 million euros. In the end, it is revealed that Martini committed a copy-cat crime. He deliberately planted self-incriminating clues but without ever leaving concrete evidence, in order to spur Vogel to take action, licitly and otherwise, to frame him, as Vogel had done in a famous earlier case. Meanwhile a journalist proposes the theory that the latest crime is the work of a past serial killer, known as the man of the fog, and a final twist is revealed in the last scene.
