Murder in the Tremiti Isles: A femicide thriller set in South Italy
About this ebook
The Salento reporter Rosario Saru Santacroce decides to switch off for a week enjoying the fantastic atmosphere of the Tremiti Islands.
But that fiery July reserves him a surprise. Because a real reporter is destined (almost) never to unplug and that is probably why he gets entangled in the murder. For this reason Saru will undress tourist clothes to wear those of the reporter hunting for news. Saru is enjoying the last night at the Tremiti Isles when the murder is committed and he is the first to rush to the scene of the crime on the island of San Nicola.
The painstaking work of the carabinieri allows to reveal the author of the crime and the reason: the charming and enigmatic tourist from Bologna was killed by the man who had sworn to love her. And another woman, the prosecutor who coordinates the investigation, finds the killer.
