Hi mystery fans!
Sponsored by Soho Crime
In a quiet village set among the Italian Alps, a man is found dead in what appears to be a bizarre ritualized murder. Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, an uncompromising senior detective, is called to investigate. Battaglia is in her mid-sixties, her rank and expertise hard-won from decades of fighting for respect in a male-dominated force. While she doesn’t trust the young city inspector assigned to assist her, she sees quickly that this is no ordinary case: the mountains hide a dark history that puts the whole town, particularly a circle of elementary school friends, in grave danger.
