When the sad, beautiful Signora Giulia goes missing without a trace from her Lake Como villa home, it is her husband who reports her disappearance to the detective Sciancalepre, and so the search begins – one that takes Sciancalepre beneath the tranquil surface of local bourgeois society, a world of snobbery and secrets, while mysterious shadows lurk in the grounds of the family villa . . . As his investigation gathers pace this atmospheric classic detective story becomes a thrilling game of legal cat and mouse.
‘One of the best detective stories ever written in Italy… enriched by a recognisable portrait of human weakness, and characters who remain long in the reader’ s memory’ - Renzo Montagnoli ‘Until the final pages, the reader devours the book with a hunger provoked only by the finest books and authors. Right up to the last word, anything is possible, but one thing is certain: this is a great Piero Chiara’ - Paola Biribanti
