About this ebook
An American in the Italian Dolomites must uncover the truth about a triple murder cold case in this “superb [and] utterly riveting” thriller (Publishers Weekly).
New York City native Jeremiah Salinger was once a hotshot documentary filmmaker. But he left that all behind to move with his family to Siebenhoch, the remote Italian village where his wife grew up. Nestled in the Dolomite Mountains, in a region that still clings to its Austro-Hungarian heritage, Siebenhoch doesn’t take kindly to out-of-towners.
When Salinger goes on an excursion with a local mountain rescue group, a freak accident leaves him the only survivor. Overcome with guilt, he spirals into a depression marked by terrible nightmares. But then he comes across a fascinating tale of unsolved murder that gives his life renewed purpose.
In 1985, three students were brutally murdered at Bletterbach Gorge—their limbs severed and strewn into the fossil-rich canyon. Salinger becomes obsessed with solving the mystery, believing it is the only thing that can keep him sane. But as Salinger unearths the long-kept secrets of Sienbenhoch, he must confront a truth more horrifying than he ever imagined.
“Can be compared (with no fear of hyperbole) to Stephen King and Jo Nesbø.” —La Repubblica
