The magic of Rimini and a murderous secret: a new case for Paolo Ritter, the maverick investigator with the episodic memory.
Sitting in the Teatro Amintore Galli in Rimini listening to a celebrated tenor was not the way Paolo Ritter had imagined his evening. Lucia, his business partner and talented cook, had dragged him along, despite his dislike of opera. And the former criminal investigator with the episodic memory is not a sociable person. He is currently more than busy renovating the small hotel in nearby Cervia that belonged to his recently deceased brother, dealing with unreliable workmen and overly charming plumbers – but then something happens that requires all his skills as an investigator. The concert turns out to be the last one the opera star will ever give – he is discovered on the beach in Rimini the next day, dead. And Lucia’s best friend Chiara, the last person to be seen with the dead man, is under suspicion of murder.
