A new and thorny case for Vanina Garrasi, the investigator welcomed with enormous enthusiasm

It's 4:30 in the morning. From their boat, Dr. Manfredi Monterreale and Sante Tammaro, a journalist from a digital publication, spot a man on the coast, struggling to drag a large suitcase and throwing it among the rocks. A few hours later, Deputy Superintendent Vanina Garrasi receives an anonymous call: a female voice claims to have witnessed the murder of a young woman that same night in a seaside villa. The two events turn out to be related and give rise to a much more delicate investigation than expected. The perceptive Vanina, whose private life becomes increasingly complicated by the day, will have to navigate cautiously among the powerful figures of the Etna capital. Thanks to the help of retired Superintendent Biagio Patanè, now a "steady companion," she will unravel a plot that holds surprises until the very last page.
