The Girl by the Lake

It is eight o’clock in the morning when Marta, only six years old, is returning home after having slept at her aunt’s house. A truck stops: Mario, a deranged local young man, convinces her to follow him to his farm. Inspector Sanzio, an experienced policeman, who recently moved to that remote area, comes to the town. The younger colleague Siboldi, born in those valleys, becomes his guide also to get to know the family ties and relationships of that small community. The two of them, accompanied by Alfredo, Sanzio’s loyal colleague since his time in homicide, will have to stay in town because another crime is about to be committed, probably connected to one of the families in the village, born from a sentimental or emotional tie. Everyone that Sanzio meets and interrogates could be a potential killer. The inspector enters into the story with unusual participation: even his own family is crossed by a sharp pain that runs parallel to the investigation.
