The latter, however, has only the best of intentions, as Mitterer has been traumatized since the accidental death of his wife three years ago, a fact that hasn't gone unnoticed by the rest of his team: forensic pathologist Eva Rossi, forensic investigator Chiara Felice, and team assistant Giuliana Pucci.
