    About this series

    Crime – Murder – Guilt – Redemption
    Colonel Emilio Gariboldi is a complex man. He is also a veteran of the Second Italo-Abyssinian War.



    An idealist as a young man, he had hoped to emulate his hero Italo Balbo and hence joined the Italian air force.
    A fatal encounter with an enemy intruder while camped with his air force unit on the heights of an elevated plateau near Axum in the northern parts of Ethiopia changes his life forever.
    The discovery of the body of a young black woman prisoner found in bed next to him cements his embroilment with a criminal organization involved in human trafficking.
    Almost two decades later, another young black girl is found dead at the foot of the Terzano Tower in Campobasso.

      Marinella is liked by most of the townsfolk; notably by Archetti – “the village idiot”. She is a young woman with a kind heart – ready to help her friends and neighbors; but she is also a prostitute, even if discreet about her trade and respectful of others. One day, the carabinieri show up at the pensione (guest house) where Marinella rents a room. Severino, the local cobbler and a good friend of Marinella, learns of her death from Corporal Pellegrini. Apparently, Marinella fell to her death from the ancient, fortified walls of Borgo Vecchio in the old quarter of Termoli. The carabinieri consider it a suicide. Severino, shocked and unwilling to accept Marinella’s tragic death as a suicide, sets out with his close friend Donanto to investigate the matter.
