Out of Season

Set in the cold spring season of alpine Aosta, this engaging novel from Antonio Manzini features deputy police chief Rocco Schiavone as he tackles his most compelling case yet—a kidnapping intertwined with unforeseen complications and personal clashes. When a girl is abducted due to her parents’ debt, a disrupted crime turns even more perilous after a deadly accident. Amidst these twists, Rocco faces not only the investigation but also a crescendo of danger from a vengeful ex-con seeking justice.
