When he finally gets to the office, the inspector learns about a strange abduction: a woman was abducted, drugged, and then released unharmed only hours later. Within a few days, the same thing happens again. Both women are thirty years old and work in a bank. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMontalbano also has to deal with an arson case.
