The Dark Village

  • SPIEGEL Bestseller

South Tyrol’s favorite detective duo takes on Italy’s most dangerous criminals. It’s mid-January, and the earth keeps shaking in snowy Val Gardena – there is an unusually high number of avalanches in the area around the luxury winter idyll of Santa Cristina. But Commissario Grauner is oblivious to this natural spectacle. And even when a dead man is found in a run-down villa, he only begins to investigate reluctantly. For, just a few days ago, his 18-year-old daughter Sara disappeared without a trace. When he finds out that his Neapolitan colleague Saltapepe had to go into hiding because mafia boss Giorgio Garebani, whom the Ispettore once put behind bars, is after him, Grauner realizes that he isn’t dealing with a coincidence. Flouting every rule, he and his wife Alba begin investigating together, throwing themselves into a fight they can’t actually win but also can’t afford to lose.

Rights to the series have been sold to Italy (Garzanti).
