Synopsis
The third book in a quartet of masterful crime novels set in fascist Italy. Naples 1931. Together with his indefatigable partner, Brigadier Maione, Ricciardi, a man driven into solitude by his paranormal 'gift' of seeing the final seconds of the lives of victims of violent deaths - a talent that also makes him a highly effective investigator - is conducting an investigation into the death of the beautiful and mysterious Duchess of Camparino, whose connections to privileged social circles and fascist elite make the case a powder keg waiting to blow.
