Plot introduction[]
The plot centers around the murder of the daughter of an Israeli diplomat. The murder seems exceptionally cruel, since the girl was developmentally disabled. From the positioning of the body and location, motive for the killing is not clear, until other people with other disabilities, such as being blind, having a very low IQ, etc., are killed, and strange symbols are showing up at the scenes. Only when they learn of a very cruel, self-righteous conspiracy to practice eugenics do Milo and Alex start unravelling this very dark case.
