In Europa la guerra è cominciata, eppure da noi qualcuno si illude ancora che sia possibile tenerla fuori della porta.

Aveva troppa voglia di vivere, perciò l’hanno uccisa. In questo tempo che accelera verso l’abisso, spetta al commissario Ricciardi e al brigadiere Maione scoprire chi è stato. La chiave di tutto, però, è sempre la solitudine.
