When a beautiful college student is found murdered in the catacombs beneath a monastary, Captain Natalia Monte of the Carabinieri is assigned to investigate. Could the killer be a professor the student had been sleeping with? A blind monk who loved her? Or a mafia killing by the brutal Camorra? As Natalia investigates, the crime families of Naples go to war and when one of her childhood friends is caught up in the violence Natalia's loyalties are tested, and each move she makes threatens her own life and the lives of those she loves.

Rare Book
"Where better to set a noir police procedural than in streets awash in uncollected trash, against a backdrop of smoke rising from Vesuvius? . . . Donna Leon owns Venice, and David Hewson rules Rome. With this formidable debut novel, Weiss lays claim to Naples."
--The Boston Globe
"The most appealing element in this distinctive first is the fascinating contradictions between modern Naples, Italy, and its medieval past that Merete Weiss knits into an original mystery . . . Even Captain Natalia Monte of the Carabinieri and her Buddhist partner are intriguing opposites in their temperaments and their approaches to an investigation."
--The Charlotte Observer
"Weiss has done her homework, walked the pestilent streets, prowled the catacombs below the city, and created a thoroughly human woman who will do what she must to protect her part of a city that both enchants and infuriates her."
--Margaret Maron, author of The Deborah Knott Series
