Product Description

He has lost his rank, his family and his name. All he has left is his daughter — and someone has just taken her.Rome, January. After the case that brought down a Prime Minister, Commissario Giulio Morelli is suspended, alone, and quietly finished. Then a general of the secret services walks into his flat without knocking and offers him one last road: a demotion to the port of Livorno. There, a sealed container hides the gold reserve of a secret lodge, and three factions are ready to kill for it. When the phone rings and a distorted voice speaks his daughter's name, Morelli stops being a policeman and becomes a father who will betray everyone to bring her home.This is a novel you read for the story.
