Pine scent, espresso, and the ghosts of the past: A former German police officer finds himself in his most personal case at Lake Maggiore. Lukas Albano Geier has actually left his life as a witness protector in Munich behind. At his beloved Lake Maggiore, he dedicates himself to music. Boats rock in the harbor, and behind the medieval rooftops, the sky-blue lake shines - but high above the lake, something dark is brewing. In the town of Maccagno, a dead woman is found. A phone number is written on the woman's arm: that of Lukas Albano Geier.
