Amore nero

Police Commissioner de Vitalis is investigating about the savage murder of Francesco, the young brother of his own wife, Ada.

The story is set in Milano 1912, taking up some of the characters from Gli occhi e il buio (commissioner Matteo De Vitalis, his wife Ada, chief commissioner Borghetti, delegate Petri, ophthalmologist Anselmi) and set five years after the events narrated in the novel.
