Synopsis

Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, a trailblazing criminal detective on the Italian police force, is on sick leave, recovering from her recent brush with death in pursuit of a killer. But none of her colleagues, not even her partner, know that her Alzheimer’s is getting worse, and that Teresa is unsure she will ever return to work.

Teresa’s plans for retirement are shelved, however, when she is urgently summoned to meet with menacing serial killer Giacomo Mainardi. Refusing to speak with anyone but Teresa, whose investigative work twenty-seven years prior landed him in maximum security prison, Mainardi has disconcerting news: somebody is after him, and only Teresa holds the key to keeping everyone, including herself, safe. To solve the case, Teresa must come face to face with a history she thought she’d buried, back to when Giacomo first began to kill, and Teresa—newly pregnant and married to an abusive man—did everything she could to catch him.

Set in the idyllic mountains of Northern Italy, the latest volume in Ilaria Tuti’s gripping series is a tour de force, a poignant and irresistible story about the relentless pull of the past on the present.

Ho un rapporto particolare con i libri in serie: li leggo, ma non mi faccio remore ad abbandonare una serie, anche senza giungere alla fine, quando noto che non mi sta dando più nulla. Negli anni, molti autori hanno subito questa sorte: da de Giovanni alla Teruzzi, da Fusco alla Basso, passando per l......more

Davvero bellissimo questo quarto caso di Teresa Battaglia, in cui si ritorna al primo caso importante della profiler, quello che le cambiò del tutto la vita. Abbiamo così modo di conoscere la Teresa Battaglia di ventisette anni prima, una giovane donna in gamba e determinata che si vede mettere i ba......more
