Lucio has never been one who ever showed any particular interest in politics, at least not until Malita’s President is a prime suspect in a murder investigation. Father Raymond has been found dead in Gaulos’s Holy Shrine.

With such high stakes, Lucio is compelled to return from parental leave and take the lead in the investigation. If anything gets spilled out prematurely, it will create chaos across the nation.

Crossing over to Gaulos, the team embarks on an investigative journey that will have them navigate through broken relationships, past trauma, and the grief it manifested. By challenging normative approaches to crime solving, they pursue deeper into the past to make sense of what is happening in the present. But will that be enough to solve the case?

All will be revealed in ‘Under an August Moon’, the 5th instalment in the Lucio Vella Series.
