When Commissario Brunetti is visited by an investigator from the Carabinieri looking into the murder of a truck company owner, he is intrigued. Not long before his death, Stefano Ranzato had been caught hauling goods illegally for the Mafia, and was pressured into becoming an informant. The Carabinieri suspect that the Mafia killed Stefano to ensure his silence, but what did the man discover that cost him his life?

The stakes are high and the investigation complex as Brunetti is drawn into working with a rival Italian police department - and when another person connected to the case is murdered, Brunetti must race against time to uncover the truth before it happens again.
