By My Hand

In "By My Hand," the fifth installment of the Commissario Ricciardi series by Maurizio de Giovanni, Naples is on the brink of holiday celebrations, yet masked by the oppressive reign of fascism is a world of poverty and despair. When the gruesomely murdered bodies of a fascist militia officer and his wife are discovered, Ricciardi's unique gift allows him to hear their final moments. Joined by his partner Brigadier Raffaele Maione and navigating personal distractions from two competing women, he embarks on a tense quest through Naples to reveal the truth behind the chilling crime.
