Working as a publicist for her favorite band, which also happens to be his own, the Waywards. The Waywards were the darlings of the '90s, before Milo's substance abuse issues and personal demons drove them into obscurity. Now clean and sober, he's determined to make a new start. Both with the band and with Grace, if she'll just let him—and let herself live her own life, free of the shadows of her past. But old sins cast long shadows and the past rarely stays buried.

These new essays comprise a critical analysis of present-day crime fiction and nonfiction works set in Italy (all of which are available in English). The writers discussed range from Donna Leon and Michael Dibdin to Leonardo Sciascia and Andrea Camilleri. Essays also deal with nonfiction by Roberto Saviano and Douglas Preston. An emerging theme is the corruption of Italian police and judiciary officials and the frustration of officers and politicians trying to work ethically within a flawed system. Many of the works discussed show the struggle of the honest characters to find at least a limited justice for the victims.
