Synopsis

Every Thursday for three years, Signora Giulia takes the train to Milan to visit her daughter. But one Thursday she simply disappears. And the case is left in your hands. You're a born detective, but you have so many unanswered questions - how can a young, beautiful high society woman just vanish into thin air? Why does her husband - a prominent criminal lawyer and much older man - know nothing about it? And who was she really visiting during those trips to Milan?

For Detective Sciancalepre, the mystery is darker and more tangled than he imagined. Shadows are lurking in the grounds behind Giulia's house. Incriminating letters are exchanging hands. And no one is who they seem. Every twist and turn takes us closer to Giulia - and further from the truth...

Review:

'The suspense carries over to the last page. Prepare for a surprise' Daily Mail

'A light and bright read for those tired with the thud and blunder school of crime writing' Crime Review

'It'll still trouble you after you've turned the final page. What more could one really ask for?' Pechorin's Journal

'Chiara... acutely and sardonically critiques the false righteousness of the local [Lombardian] bourgeoisie' Il Domenicale del Diritto

'Chiara saves his most original touch until last, with an audacious ending that readers will find either refreshingly ambiguous or maddeningly open-ended' The National
'The sort of story that Sherlock Holmes might have narrated after a bit too much opium' Shiny New Books

'Perfectly structured and paced... Excellent'
