Season One Episode Descriptions

Episode 1:  The River of Fog
(IL FIUME DELLE NEBBIE)

An empty barge drifts downriver with the owner missing. That same night Inspector Soneri is called in to investigate the murder of the boatman's brother. The brothers served together in the fascist militia fifty years earlier and Soneri must navigate ancient loyalties and deep-rooted rivalries before he can find out the truth.


Episode 2:  Rooms for Rent
(L'AFFITTACAMERE)

As he investigates the murder of an elderly friend, Soneri discovers that she once rented rooms by the hour and carried out illegal abortions in her pension.

Episode 3:  Trying to Forget
(BERSAGLIO, L'OBLIO)

Following the death of a former police inspector, Inspector Soneri has the job of discovering what made a valorous officer go crooked. During the investigation he finds himself battling his friend and colleague Angela, who is defending one of the suspects, and it leads to a fatal professional embarrassment.


Episode 4:  The Mystery Film Club
(I MISTERI DELLE DONNE)

Inspector Soneri finds himself with an all-female case, filled with men who are too much in love, girls who have messy pasts and fellow officers with time-worn secrets. To solve the case and save the life of his friend Angela, he must investigate the darkest side of what has always been a mystery for him: women.


Season Two

Each of the new season’s six episodes revolves around a particularly puzzling crime that calls into action Commissario Soneri, head of the investigative squad in the apparently peaceful, wellheeled Italian city of Ferrara. A gruff, uncompromising lone wolf, Soneri leads his equally individualistic team of detectives as they resolve cases that bring to the surface hidden tragedies, unspoken secrets, unhealed grudges, wounds and acts of vengeance that appear all the more startling in such an idyllic setting.

SEASON THREE

Commissario Soneri, the restless detective, has moved from provincial Ferrara to fast-paced Torino, where he joins a new squad and takes up with a new love. Then, as if his law enforcement and sentimental adventures not enough, he is chosen by fourteen year-old Immacolata, a wild, scheming, runaway girl, to be her stepfather. As always, Soneri’s sixth sense, his street smarts and his experience, not to mention his blunt, abrasive character, inevitably lead him to the truth: even when the truth behind a case proves hard to take, and involves people extremely close to him.
