Mystery
Timothy Williams was selected by The Observer as
one of the “10 Best Modern European Crime Writers” for his
series featuring Northern Italian police detective Piero
Trotti. Now, 20 years after his last investigation, Trotti
returns! After decades as a police detective in his Northern Italian
hometown on the River Po, Commissario Piero Trotti has
retired. But retirement brings him no respite. An old friend
calls him to Siena to give him urgent news: a notorious hit
man has returned to Italy to kill Trotti. The former
inspector isn’t surprised to learn of the vendetta against
him; Trotti has plenty of skeletons in his closet. His
mistaken accusations and failed gambles have cost innocent
lives in the course of his investigations. Though Trotti
carries the burden of these deaths with him each day, now
someone else has appeared to enact his own, long-awaited
retribution. Traveling across Italy to escape his pursuer, Trotti
revisits his own past and searches for clues to the
cold-case murder of Valerio Gracchi, a leftist radical who
became a national media sensation. But even the right
answers may not save Trotti and his loved ones.
