Naples, 1931. A bitter wind stalks the city streets, and murder lies at its chilled heart. When Maestro Vezzi, one of the world's greatest tenors, is found brutally murdered in his dressing room at Naples' famous San Carlo theater, the enigmatic and aloof Commissario Ricciardi is called to investigate.

As Naples prepares for its holiday celebrations, behind the facade of order and happiness imposed by the fascist regime lurks terrible poverty and blinding desperation. In a luxurious apartment on the Mergellina beach, the bodies of a fascist militia officer and his wife have been found. The woman's throat has been cut while the man has been stabbed over 60 times. Seemingly, the hands of two separate killers have been at work.

Storia
Commissario Ricciardi is the undisputed wizard of Neapolitan crime scenes. He solves every crime with an uncanny swiftness that leaves his colleagues dumbfounded. Indeed, there are those who think his abilities are the work of the devil, an unnatural and ungodly gift to be exorcised. And maybe they're right. Ricciardi sees the dead; he sees and hears the final moments in the lives of those who have suffered violent deaths. It may be a talent, or it may be a curse, but it is nonetheless a kind of black magic.

Al volante della Fiat, la più grande azienda del Belpaese, l'Avvocato è stato ed è ancora oggi il simbolo di quel "made in Italy" che ha fatto della creatività la propria bandiera, un portacolori capace di coniugare il rigore sul lavoro, tipico del nonno fondatore Giovanni e di altri maestri, come Vittorio Valletta, con i piaceri della vita, anche attraverso la sua amicizia con molti protagonisti del secolo breve, da Kennedy a Kissinger a Truman Capote.

La statuina di san Giuseppe, patrono dei lavoratori, giace infranta a terra. Sulla scena del delitto, Ricciardi, che ha l'amaro dono di vedere e sentire i morti ammazzati, ascolta le ultime frasi della coppia, che non gli dicono granché.

Sintesi dell'editore
Ricciardi has visions. He sees and hears the final seconds in the lives of victims of violent deaths. It is both a gift and a curse. It has helped him become one of the most acute and successful homicide detectives in the Naples police force. But all that horror and suffering has hollowed him out emotionally: He drinks and doesn't sleep. Other than his loyal partner, Brigadier Maione, he has no friends.
Naples,1931. In a working-class apartment in the Sanita neighborhood, an elderly woman by the name of Carmela Calise has been beaten to death. When Ricciardi and Maione arrive at the scene, they start asking the neighbors questions. No one wants to talk, but slowly a few interesting facts slip out. Carmela Calise was moonlighting as a fortune-teller and moneylender. In her decrepit apartment, she would receive clients - among them some of the city's rich and powerful - predicting their futures in such a way as to manipulate and deceive. If economic ruin lurked in their futures, Calise was happy to help - for a price,of course. She had many enemies: those indebted to her, manipulated by her lies, disappointed by her prophesies, or destroyed by her machinations. Murder suspects in this atmospheric thriller abound, and Commissario Ricciardi, one of the most original and intriguing investigators in contemporary crime fiction, will have his work cut out for him.

The rot sets in.
So sad to find that the brilliant start of Vengeace has already deteriorated into pretty lame and boring romantic subplots that dominate the storyline. I’m listening out of sequence and last heard viper which is much later in the series and which I could only finish with many skips of needless and tedious chapters recycling the same ‘she was thinking of…later she thought of…he wondered what she was doing’ type padding. Sadly this second in the series is already suffocating under these lackluster intrusions into an interesting and original take on the genre. I now quit this series. Grover Gardner made it painless but eventually the decline in quality was too much.

Protracted storyline
Having read the first in the series I was inclined to follow on with book 2. It was a little disappointing. it took until half way through the book before the story developed. So many character vignettes were created in the first half It became confusing. Eventually it did all come together . The main characters are developing. The book is written as a period piece with social standings of the time well defined. The narrator lacks any emotion. it is translated from Italian into American which I found annoying. But you pays your money you translate how you will. I persevered with the story, fairly predictable unsure if I will delve any further into the series.
