Commissario Arcadipane is called out to attend the discovery of some bones at a Torino building site. The powers that be quickly decide that these are war dead, and ask that the bones be given to them so that the victims can be identified and their relatives notified. Arcadipane is not convinced, and hangs onto one bone that looks like it has a more recent provenance.
Investigations point towards a cell of leftist students who were involved in a bombing, many of whom disappeared. Arcadipane asks his retired friend Bramard to help, since he was involved in the original arson inquiry. He also ropes in Isa, a rebellious young police officer with advanced investigative skills.
I liked this book, both for its unusual setting and for the way Longo rounded his characters and used their personal flaws to help drive his plot. The plot itself ended up a long way from where I thought it would go, and had a few unexpected twists. I believe that there is an early novel focusing on Bramard, which I intend to seek out.
