Description

Naples, early 1930s. Luigi-Alfredo Riccardi, commissioner of a mobile unit of the criminal police in the Reggia district of Naples, is known for his amazing ability to solve the most hopeless cases. Everyone is impressed by his business acumen, and no one knows about the incredible gift of the commissioner. Riccardi feels the pain of those who died a violent death, can read the last thoughts, hear the last words of the unfortunate.
This winter he investigates a high-profile crime committed in the Royal Theatre— the murder of Arnoldo Vezzi, the greatest tenor of his time and the favorite of the very duce. The singer is found dead in his dressing room, with a fragment of a shattered mirror embedded in his throat. Riccardi examines the crime scene, notes every detail, and tries to build a picture of the crime for himself. He understands that the murder was not planned. However, so far he has not a single suspect.
