A tale of intrigue and treachery in the secretive world of scientific research. Leonardo Molinari is professor of the Nanotechnology department at the University of Legano in the deep south of Italy. He and his close knit research team are routinely involved in creating nano-sized structures which can be magically transformed into any form they wish. To Leonardo, the nature of their research is the work of angels. But to his deep concern, he discovers that their tiny creations are being systematically spirited away by a mole in their midst. Which of his trusted team members could the Judas possibly be? He covertly employs Elena Camisso, a highly intelligent private investigator, to discover who the traitor is within the group. Elena finds herself in a world which she can barely comprehend. But, beneath the surface, she soon unearths the old demons of greed, sex and corruption surreptitiously at work.
