A long, rainy, deadly Autumn in Naples.
Commissario Ricciardi faces long buried personal feelings over the course of a rainy Naples Autumn, as well as an unusual case. A boxer who left Naples to become a champion, but who stopped boxing after accidentally striking dead an opponent, has returned to Naples, with his old flame's husband dying of a punch to the head not long after. Translated from the Italian by Antony Shugaar.
