A diary that writes on its own. Five impossible cases. A detective who never wanted the job back. January 2025, Avigliana. Giorgio, former investigator, current cook by choice, thinks he's done with mysteries for good. But when an old diary starts writing on its own again and Joel's voice rises from the pages, his quiet life cracks wide open. Five mysteries collide in a single month: a key that appears out of nowhere, a boat stranded on the lake, a suitcase of gold hidden beneath a church, a name crawling back from the past, and one thin red thread tying it all together. Between the fog of the twin lakes and secrets buried deep, Giorgio has to choose: ignore the clues… or follow them.
