Even when we are far away from each other, I want my love to be with you always, like a happy thought at the heart of sad days, or a friend that keeps you company when you're alone. I hope that my love makes itself useful, like a shawl you put on when you're cold and you rest on when you are flying away, free and light . . . Remember: my thoughts are with you always, my heart belongs to you, and my soul is wherever you are.
Easter Sunday, April 25, 2011. The body of wine magnate Dominic Moresco is found in the forest of Costamagna Alba, Italy. The investigators think he died of a heart attack, but the police commissioner suspects foul play and so begins an investigation into the sordid and entangled past of men, town, and country.
Moresco's death casts a long shadow over the small town, where friends and enemies can be one in the same, and brings to light secrets long kept quiet. Secrets that were buried in the last days of the Second World War. Secrets involving treasure and a woman with a heart-shaped smile.
A gripping noir and a moving love story, My Soul Is Wherever You Are is a novel that embodies the tone and traditions of modern Italy.
