So the local Comandante, Luis Menenez, was ordered to find the murderer quickly by the Dictator himself.
Menenez was worried this was a test of his loyalty and, determined not to fail he will blame someone regardless of their guilt. With the threat of the Comandante hanging over Santa Caterina, the villagers decide to try and find the killer before an innocent person is taken, but the war has changed their lives and taken away much of the innocence. The villagers each have their own guilt that they try to keep secret while at the same time try to unearth a murderer before it’s too late in Invisible Country: A Mystery by Annamaria Alfieri.
