He later discovers she has left a note in his collar—Please help my babbo.With help from the local carabinieri, Nico discovers that Cilia&’s father, Saverio, has fled town following an unfortunate incident. His business partner was killed at their electronics store, and Saverio is the hot-headed local carabiniere&’s main suspect. Cilia&’s mother, Livia, who just moved to Gravigna to get away from Pitigliano&’s wagging tongues, asks Nico to find the real killer and hands him a long list of suspects. Against his better judgment, Nico accepts for Cilia&’s sake. Since the case is outside of the local carabinieri&’s jurisdiction, Nico finds himself on his own as he travels back and forth to Pitigliano. He goes down Livia&’s list of suspects one by one in pursuit of the truth, putting his skills as a retired NYPD detective to work. But will Livia and her little girl be happy with what Nico finds?
