Ilaria Tuti's thriller debut explores a remote community in northern Italy - a place of secrets, eerie folktales, and primal instincts.

In a quiet village surrounded by ancient woods and the imposing Italian Alps, a man is found naked with his eyes gouged out. It is the first in a string of gruesome murders.

Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, a detective with a background in criminal profiling, is called to investigate. Battaglia is in her mid-60s, her rank and expertise hard-won from decades of battling for respect in the male-dominated Italian police force. While she's not sure she trusts the young city inspector assigned to assist her, she sees right away that this is no ordinary case: buried deep in these mountains are whispers of a dark and dangerous history, possibly tied to a group of eight-year-old children toward whom the killer seems to gravitate.

As Teresa inches closer to the truth, she must also confront the possibility that her body and mind, worn down by age and illness, may fail her before the chase is over.

This is the best book I’ve read in quite some time. Intriguing mystery set in Italy, excellent narration. I would like to see a sequel.

Fantastic Story/Narration!!

A complicated but entrancing story. Extremely well narrated. The writer has the ability to draw you a picture in your mind of what the little village looks like and how the mountains surround the valley. It's a difficult story but one you cannot stop listening to no matter how hard you try. I can't wait to read the next book!

Fabulous Read!!

So sorry, but I tried hard several times to listen to this and the narrator’s voice just sent my mind elsewhere. I finally gave up. Maybe one of those books that needs to read.

Wow this was a page turner. Very nicely written and narrated. It was hard to put down. I am still thinking about it and the various themes throughout.

I loved this, very hard to put down,
the ending -well, both of them - delicious. To my great relief, this is the first of 3 InspectorTherese
Bataglia books. This is writing for the true detective fan. Reviews I read suggested readers who appreciate Scandinavian
noir will also be in for a wonderful
listen- the narrator is excellent.

I enjoyed this story. You need to pay attention when listening at the beginning as I was having a problem keeping track of all the characters. Teresa Battaglia's side story of dealing with her fear losing mind and not being able to function was very relevant to the fear we all have of growing older. I am intrigued that there will be another book as she seemed to be weak and unable to cope by the end. Will she suddenly find herself able to remember things and function in her capacity as superintendent without jeopardizing others lives? I will be waiting to see how the next book plays out. All in all a good listen once I figured out who everyone was and their parts in the story.

Good story, a bit confusing at first.
