Amid hoaxers and deliberate misdirection, one voice stands out — that of a man with an English accent: The American. He claims to be Emanuela Orlandi’s kidnapper and demands a prisoner exchange with the terrorist Ali Ağca. But he won’t be the only one to claim responsibility for the girl’s abduction... The shadow of international terrorism looms over the Orlandi case, and the first to be convinced of it is Pope John Paul II himself. Between the Grey Wolves, the Turkesh Front, and organized crime, the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi begins to intertwine with the history of the 1980s.
