Police inspector and profiler Teresa Battaglia is called in when the first body is found, a naked man whose face has been disfigured and eyes gouged out.

But Teresa is also fighting a battle against her own body, weighed down by age and diabetes, and her mind, once invincible and now slowly gnawing away at her memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[406],"product_tag":[206,328,127,207],"class_list":{"0":"post-92863","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-crime-thrillers","6":"product_tag-crime-mystery","7":"product_tag-fiction-in-translation","8":"product_tag-modern-contemporary-fiction-post-c-1945","9":"product_tag-thriller-suspense","10":"pa_book_author-tuti-ilaria","11":"pa_cover-paperback","12":"pa_dewey-853-92-edition23","13":"pa_edition-1st-paperback-ed","14":"pa_imprint-weidenfeld-nicolson","15":"pa_language-english","16":"pa_pages-10048","17":"pa_publisher-orion-publishing-co","18":"pa_readership-general-trade-code-k","20":"first","21":"onbackorder","22":"taxable","23":"shipping-taxable","24":"purchasable","25":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\nFlowers Over the Inferno: A secluded village in the Alps, a brutal killer, a dar<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTHONE OF M.
