An American in the Italian Dolomites must uncover the truth about a triple murder cold case in this "superb [and] utterly riveting" thriller (Publishers Weekly).New York City native Jeremiah Salinger was once a hotshot documentary filmmaker. But he left that all behind to move with his family to Siebenhoch, the remote Italian village where his wife grew up.Nestled in the Dolomite Mountains, in a region that still clings to its Austro-Hungarian heritage, Siebenhoch doesn't take kindly to out-of-towners. When Salinger goes on an excursion with a local mountain rescue group, a freak accident leaves him the only survivor. Overcome with guilt, he spirals into a depression marked by terrible nightmares. But then he comes across a fascinating tale of unsolved murder that gives his life renewed purpose. In 1985, three students were brutally murdered at Bletterbach Gorge-their limbs severed and strewn into the fossil-rich canyon. Salinger becomes obsessed with solving the mystery, believing it is the only thing that can keep him sane. But as Salinger unearths the long-kept secrets of Sienbenhoch, he must confront a truth more horrifying than he ever imagined."Can be compared (with no fear of hyperbole) to Stephen King and Jo Nesbø." -La Repubblica
