Klappentext

When Daniel Leicester goes after his late wife's missing bicycle in the oppressive heat of a Bologna summer, he is transported to her final days a decade earlier. As unfinished business bleeds - quite literally - into the present, Daniel begins to suspect Lucia's accidental death may not have been an accident after all.

With characters ranging from the Bologna branch of Italy's Free and Acknowledged Masons to an activist group trashing AirBnBs, Tom Benjamin takes the reader on another colourful excursion to one of Italy's most mysterious locations as the English detective and his partner Dolores Pugliese go after the truth, and a trace of justice, in a changing city.
