In early autumn, Positano, the enchanting village on the Amalfi Coast finally seems to breathe after the busy summer season. Deputy Commissioner Zottìa thought he was having a quiet vacation, but the enchantment of the place is shattered by the discovery of a man stabbed in the throat, hidden inside a boat. While the local police grope in the dark, Zottìa begins to investigate, uncovering a dense web of revenge and suspicion, the meaning of which becomes increasingly elusive. An exemplary investigation, plotted by the refined and expert pen of Marco Polillo, returns to bookstores in a new Best Bur edition.
