Description
Guido Guerrieri's latest case is an unusual one - a job that requires his skills as a defence counsel rather than his usual role as a police investigator. He is tasked with finding new evidence to reopen the investigation into the disappearance of Manuela, the daughter of a wealthy couple. The initial leads point towards her university friends, but Guerrieri suspects that something doesn't add up. As he delves deeper into the case, Guerrieri finds himself drawn to his colleague Caterina, who is as beautiful as she is young. However, their professional relationship remains strictly platonic. Instead, it is a local bar owner and former prostitute who provides the crucial clue that helps Guerrieri unravel Manuela's disappearance. The investigation takes Guerrieri on a journey through the streets of Bari at night, where he finds solace in his conversations with a punching bag and the colourful atmosphere of the bar. It is here that he finally uncovers the truth behind Manuela's vanishing act.
