Il compimento è la pioggia

After I figli sono pezzi di cuore and Angelo che sei il mio custode, Giorgia Lepore comes back with another story of violated childhood—a childhood that Gerri has to rebuild, scavenging for it in his lost memories.
On the eve of Saint Nicholas, in Bari, a terrible murder is committed. In a small house in the historical centre of the city, a twenty years old is found dead. Her body is traumatised with bruises and cuts, and around her are hints that a baby was there: toys, baby bottle, clothes. But no baby is to be found.
Inspector Gerri Esposito walks into the murder scene, followed by his boss, Marinetti, and inspector Sara Coen, with whom Gerri has a complicated relationship.
The investigation begins in the matter of a few days—cold days, when Puglia witnesses the rare sight of snow, and after that, rain.
