Under the sun of southern Italy, every shadow hides a secret of blood A small Italian village becomes the macabre scene of a crime that seems inspired by an ancient ritual. Valentina Medici is found dead, bled dry with surgical precision. But here's the twist: her husband, the writer Paolo Bernini, has already seen this horror. Ten years earlier, his first wife died in the same, disturbing way. Like a swimmer attracted by the waves of a dark sea, Commissioner Luigi Gelsomino dives into this enigma that connects the present to the past. Between the dazzling sun of Salento and the murky fogs of the North, Gelsomino tries to unravel a skein of blood and rancor, tangled by a sect of young literary men with more skeletons in the closet than books on the shelves. Each clue is a step into a vortex in which everyone is a suspect and no one seems to be truly innocent. Welcome to the first, gripping chapter of the Inspector Gelsomino series, where the sun does not warm, but burns, and every shadow could hide the next clue... or the next crime.
