So Commissario Piero Fontana pulls Rick into an investigation: the murder of Count Umberto Zimbardi.

After heading home from such an afternoon, he was found dead on a bridge over the Tiber. As a newcomer and an investigator, Rick makes rookie mistakes. He's learning the ropes as an amateur sleuth and that living in Rome is different from visiting.
