He's finally letting go of the memory of his murdered girlfriend. Then he sees her texts. Alice was a hopeful young graduate student when, on a beautiful August night, her body was found in the woods. She'll always remember the night she was murdered. And she still suffers the grief and rage that destroyed her family. But what Alice regrets most is the last fight she had with her boyfriend, Enrico--and the fact that she never had the chance to tell him something that would have changed everything. A decade later, Enrico has returned to the provincial town where Alice lived and died, to sell his family home. All he wants is to forget. But then, among the things he left behind, he finds an old cell phone...and unread texts sent from Alice's phone. Now, her terrible secrets are about to swallow up everyone she knew, loved, and trusted. For Enrico, discovering them is his only chance to put his lost love--and the demons of his past--to rest.

As winter thaws, secrets emerge in a once-sleepy village in the mountains. Since the death of his father by a drunk driver, Giulio Rodari has touched alcohol only twice--and the second time was the night his ex-girlfriend, Patrizia, was murdered. The morning after, the celebrated children's author awoke to a black hole in his memory--and to accusations of the crime. He had been known to stalk her. He had confronted her in an intoxicated rage on her last night alive. Beyond that, Giulio doesn't remember a thing. To escape the spotlight, he retreats to the small mountain town where he grew up, staying under house arrest at his mother's hotel. Covered in an inescapable pall of winter white, the village is haunted by a local tragedy--a bridge collapse that took seven lives. Now, as long-buried secrets and hidden rivalries emerge, Giulio struggles to separate reality from illusion. As the police investigate, will he be able to fill in the missing pieces of the murder he's accused of?
Venedig, 1502. Aus den Wassern des Canal Grande tauchen drei abscheulich verstümmelte Leichen auf. Unter der Bevölkerung macht sich Angst breit. Gerüchte über einen Dämon gehen um, der gekommen ist, um die Sünden der Serenissima-Regierung zu bestrafen. Hinter dem Rücken des Dogen Loredan bahnt sich eine Verschwörung an, die die Republik stürzen und sie Papst Alexander VI. unterwerfen will. Ein deutscher Mönch, der wegen seiner in kirchlichen Kreisen wenig willkommenen Ideen von seiner Lehrtätigkeit suspendiert ist, wird unter großer Geheimhaltung beauftragt, Nachforschungen über die Morde anzustellen. Die Ermittlungen fördern geheime Tätigkeiten zu Tage, welche das Schicksal der gesamten Republik bedrohen.
