Family secrets, terrorist plots and the return of a legendary cop: a
ferociously paced noir thriller from one of Italy's top crime writers,
and the second book in Pushkin Press's collaboration with Walter
Presents
Annibale Canessa didn't want to go back to his old life. When everything
went wrong in 1984, he traded his brutal, exciting career in the
Carabinieri for paradise in San Fruttuoso. He started swimming in the
bay at dawn and helping his elderly aunt run a small restaurant. His
life was calm.
But some shattering news pulls him back in - his estranged brother has
been found dead; lying beside him, the body of an ex-terrorist, a man
Canessa himself caught. Back in Milan, Canessa must pursue old
connections and unsolved crimes, which draw him ever deeper into the
underworld he thought he'd left behind...
