Sinopsis

The story takes place in 1920s Rome and centers on Gabriele D’Annunzio, the famous poet and man of the world, caught in a web of love and adventure. The tale begins with his relationship with Eleonora, a fascinating and ambiguous woman whose tenderness contrasts with a past marked by harshness toward other men. The relationship soon becomes complicated by the arrival of Adriana Andreani, a young film actress who captures the poet’s interest.The climax of the story comes with the kidnapping of Adriana — who is revealed to be Aurora Andreani — an event that draws D’Annunzio into a mission to rescue her from the brute Giorgio Damiani, an actor and criminal obsessed with the young woman. Through psychological deductions, pursuits, and clever ruses, D’Annunzio discovers Aurora’s prison and, with Eleonora’s help, manages to free her. However, the final twist reveals that Aurora was not a victim, but a willing accomplice in love with Damiani, adding yet another layer of ambiguity to the plot.In parallel, the story deepens the relationship between D’Annunzio and Eleonora, whose love evolves amid jealousy, passion, and reflections on desire and human nature.

    THE QUESTION 
    The body of a monk is found savagely beaten to death in a woodland near Bristol. Nothing is known about Brother Dominic's past, which makes investigating difficult. How can Cross unpick a crime when they don't know anything about the victim? And why would someone want to harm a monk? 
     
    THE PAST 
    Discovering who Brother Dominic once was only makes the picture more puzzling. He was a much-loved and respected friend, brother, son – he had no enemies. Or, at least, none that are obvious. But looking into his past reveals that he was a very wealthy man, that he sacrificed it all for his faith. For a man who has nothing, it seems strange that greed could be the motive for his murder. But greed is a sin after all . . .
