With a baby on the way and the challenges brought by his new role as Superintendent, Lucio Vella struggles to keep everything together. Things start to get complex when a man from his childhood village dies, leaving behind a cryptic clue which unsettles Lucio even more. The more he tries to put the pieces back together, the more distorted his memories become.

Determined to find out the truth about what really happened, he dives headfirst into an investigation which will take him back to his past.

As he navigates through it, he starts unravelling new truths, and old wounds start resurfacing. Will he be able to find the strength to pull through, or will the pain hold him captive?

Reviews

[Sandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another book from the trilogy by author Robert Busuttil. This is the third book but unique in its own way without jeopardizing the quality, complexity and creativity of the plot.

Well done once again to author Robert Busuttil and looking forward to reading more new books from the same author :)

The third book raises the stakes not with bigger crimes, but with deeper ones. The death in Lucio’s childhood village is not just another case—it forces him to confront ghosts of the past. The blurred line between memory and reality kept me guessing until the end. This is the most emotionally intense entry in the series so far.
