A Dark Italian Crime Thriller Blending Noir & Police Procedural

Five women dead.
A priest stands accused.
And a detective’s past is about to catch up with him.

On his first day back at the Rome Questura, Italian detective Luca Meroni is plunged straight into a nightmare. At the luxurious Monti Palace Hotel, heiress Sofia Casaldi lies dead in her bath – with a cryptic message scrawled in blood across the mirror. When Meroni discovers the Contessa’s daughter died just a month earlier from a suspicious overdose, he realises someone is hunting women across the Eternal City.

As Meroni connects the deaths to a group of young women tied to his failed football career, powerful forces move to shut the case down. Betrayal inside the Polizia di Stato becomes impossible to ignore, and Meroni must confront the ghosts of his past before he becomes the sadistic killer’s next victim.

Because the past never forgets … and neither does a killer.
