A letter within the chamber points the finger at Marko himself, leading to a heart-pounding revelation that shakes his very core.
The story culminates in a thrilling confrontation between Marko and the real killer, whose motive is a deeply buried secret intertwined with their shared history. The unforgiving Adriatic Sea, a silent witness to the unfolding drama, reveals its final, deadly secrets.
