Description
DCI Joe Mottram hopes a summer in Capri will bring him closer to his teenage daughter—until a fatal accident starts to look like it may be murder...
For murder detective Joe Mottram, a summer visit to his in-laws' idyllic beachside restaurant on the beautiful Italian island of Capri is meant to offer refuge. After the death of his wife Sofia in a hit-and-run in London, Joe has taken a sabbatical, hoping to heal and reconnect with his teenage daughter, Angelica.
But then a British businesswoman is found dead at the foot of a notorious cliff, and his in-laws' plans to teach Joe how to cook and get him and Angelica talking again have to be abandoned. A reluctant Joe is forced to swap his recipe books for a detective's notebook once more, as he's drawn deeper into the case.
Joe must form a partnership with a young local police inspector, Lara Sarrancino, who is desperate to prove herself and resents his involvement. As the two detectives butt heads, the investigation flounders, until a second body turns up, and they realize the killer is still at large on the tiny island. Unfortunately for Joe, the evidence trail appears to lead back uncomfortably close to home…
