Inspector Moretti Series: Book Three

Shadows Among the Olives

By Costanza Bruno

Nestled on the Ligurian coast, Marello's cobbled streets, ancient cathedrals, and sunlit piazzas mask a town riddled with intrigue. Beneath its postcard-perfect façade lies a community grappling with smuggling rings, corrupt officials, and secrets buried as deeply as its history. At the centre of it all is Commissario Alessandro Marco Moretti-known simply as Marco to friends and foes alike-a shrewd and determined detective returning to his hometown to battle its unseen shadows.

Shadows Among the Olives, Volume 3 of the Inspector Marco Moretti series, begins with the discovery of a grocer's lifeless body in the storeroom of his shop. What appears to be a simple crime quickly unravels, leading Marco to the infamous Ferrini olive grove-a place with a history as tangled as its roots.

As Marco digs deeper, Marello's serene façade begins to crack, exposing truths no one is prepared to face. In a town where loyalties shift like the coastal winds, justice becomes a precarious pursuit, and Marco must tread carefully to avoid becoming another victim of Marello's secrets.
