It's been ten years since Daniel Kennicott's brother, Michael, was murdered in broad daylight while sitting at a café on one of Toronto's most fashionable streets. Hours before, he'd told Daniel he was about to fly to Gubbio, Italy, on a mysterious mission that he never got to explain. Michael's murder has haunted Daniel ever since, but he's put off going to the bucolic hill town--until now. When his mentors, Detectives Greene and Bering, express grave concerns for his safety, Daniel begins to wonder: Is he risking his life in pursuit of the truth? In Gubbio, Daniel learns the townspeople are still divided by the brutal Nazi occupation during the final years of the war. The past has not been put to rest and dangerous secrets lay buried. As Daniel digs dipper, miles away Greene and Berign search for a killer closer to home.
