Il corpo di Philip Kleinman, famoso architetto americano, viene ritrovato in una stanza di Palazzo Carli, il luogo in cui si è appena svolta una conferenza, a cui lo stesso Kleinman ha partecipato. Accanto al cadavere viene ritrovato un foglietto di carta su cui c'è scritto il numero 88. Quale sarà mai il significato di questo numero?  E chi è l'assassino?
