Police Detective Carlo Arbati takes a break from work and visits long-term friend Inspector Giancarlo Bonelli in Lucca. Upon his arrival, Bonelli tells Arbati about an odd death recently where an American was killed when a spear-carrying statue toppled over on him. And then an American corporate lawyer, Peter Morgan, claiming to be the dead man's cousin, is also murdered--and the same people surface as suspects. Slowly Arbati and Bonelli piece together a blackmail scheme, hatched by the two Americans, involving a British art house and the forgery of an Italian masterpiece, Ghirlandaio's Daughter.
