It’s Florence, 1944. As the Nazi’s begin to face defeat, they cling on to their former ally – Italy, raining down oppression and brutal punishment on any who dare defy their increasingly desperate control. Now, as the liberation of the city seems finally within reach, one family – the Camaccios – and their Partisan friends, will risk everything to make a radio broadcast, hoping to pass vital information to the allies. But as the group convenes in a secret location, there is the sound of heavy footsteps on the stairs. They have been betrayed…In modern day Florence, the new Director of Elite Policing – Inspector Alessandro Pallioti – is called to oversee the investigation into a most shocking crime. A recently decorated Partisan hero has been discovered dead in his apartment, a bullet wound to his head and his mouth stuffed with salt. Later, another former Partisan is found murdered in the same brutal, unnerving way. During the course of the investigation, Pallioti finds the old wartime diary of Caterina Camaccio. Increasingly drawn into Caterina’s tale of love, longing, heroism and ultimately treachery, Pallioti gradually discovers the dark secrets in Florence’s bloody history and begins to realise that the past really does inform the present. For it is Caterina herself who will lead him to the shocking truth behind these bloody murders…

In Florence, a young American student goes missing. At first neither Alessandro Pallioti, one of the city’s most senior policemen, nor Enzo Saenz, his deputy, are too concerned. But soon the men are horrified to discover that the older man Kristen has been spending time with is Antonio Tomaselli, a member of the notorious Red Brigades. Then, before the police can get a handle on the case, Kristen’s step-mother, Anna, also vanishes.
Before long Enzo finds himself enmeshed in a web of false identities, betrayed loyalties, and revenge. At its centre is Anna, a woman he is increasingly drawn to, but knows he should not trust; and at stake is the life of an eighteen year old girl. With the horrors of the past rising behind him and the women’s futures hanging in the balance, Enzo Saenz is on unfamiliar ground and playing the most deadly game of his life . . .
Set against the stunning backdrop of Ferrara, Rome and Florence, in the 1970’s and the modern day, The Lost Daughter is at once a gripping thriller and the heartbreaking story of a desperate love affair, the consequences of which will resound for decades.
