Ex-NYPD homicide detective Nico Doyle investigates the murder of a local bartender in the Tuscan countryside. On a late October Sunday morning in Gravigna, local maresciallo Perillo is having breakfast with ex-NYPD detective Nico Doyle when he is called back to the station in Greve. Laura Benati, the young manager of Hotel Bella Vista, is worried-her bartender and good friend eighty-year-old Cesare Costanzi has been missing for three days. The next morning, Jimmy, co-owner of Bar All' Angolo, Gravigna' s local cafe, where Nico is a frequent patron, runs out of gas on his way back from Florence. When Nico meets him to help, Nico' s dog, OneWag, reacts to the smell coming from Jimmy' s trunk. Inside Nico finds a body wrapped in plastic- Cesare Costanzi, stabbed several times in the chest. Why would anyone kill Cesare, and how did he end up in Jimmy' s car? That' s for Nico to find out, as Perillo once again turns to Nico for help with the investigation.
