An Italian park ranger tracks a mafia hit man through the mountains of Umbria in this "riveting read for fans of European noir" by the author of Cry Wolf (Booklist, starred review).
When the headless body of fellow park ranger Marzio Diamante is found amidst the wooded hills of the National Park, Sebastiano Cangio is convinced that he himself was the intended target. But what was Marzio doing out there on his own at dead of night? Could there be any truth behind his wild stories of elves and goblins in the surrounding forest?
Dismissive of the rumors of black magic and Satanism, Cangio is convinced that Marzio's death heralds the return of the 'Ndrangheta, the most formidable criminal organization in Italy. If he is to escape their clutches a second time and uncover the truth about his colleague's death, Cangio must draw on his finely-honed survival instincts and sniff out his would-be killer.
"Gregorio maintains the high tension throughout with plenty of plot twists to keep readers guessing until the explosive conclusion" - Publishers Weekly
"Taut suspense and a fast-paced plot, combined with a gripping story . . . for fans of European noir, especially the work of Michael Dibdin." - Booklist, starred review
