We’re constantly surrounded by smells. They can energize and calm, worry us and create comfort, awaken memories. But can a scent kill? The former head of the Italian police, Carlo Baleri, sincerely promised the police he would not interfere in the case of the perfumer’s death; he had gotten lazy and relaxed in retirement among the beautiful landscapes of Positano. But why not invite an old acquaintance as a guest? While the heat drives crazy central Italy and, by the sea, there’s only a light breeze, the scent of oranges and oleander—and… an investigation. Of course, Alexandra will come! No one expected the case to turn out dangerous, because it’s a long-standing story of deception, betrayal, and ruined lives. It will shake a small village straight out of glossy postcards—and the past will return to kill. Breathe in the fragrance—and die. Who committed this unusual murder and why?
