- Summary:
- In the quiet aftermath of Split's tourist season, the city is shaken by the brutal murder of 17-year old Viktorija Zeba. As the investigation unfolds, suspicion falls on Mario, a withdrawn young man whose mother, Katja, and sister, Ines, grapple with the possibility of his guilt. Katja's maternal instincts drive her to shield her son at all costs, while Ines is torn between loyalty and a quest for truth. Through the perspectives of Katja, Ines, and the diligent yet overlooked detective Zvone, this novel delves into the complexities of familial bonds, moral dilemmas, and the shadows of Croatia's past. Jurica Pavicic crafts a haunting narrative that intertwines personal tragedy with a portrait of a nation still healing from its historical wounds.
