Sun, sea, food, wine – and then a mysterious death
History teacher Hugo travels on a food and culture trip to Capri together with a group of other northerners. The organizer is Belmonte Travels, led by the clever Lara. Spirits are high, and the group is enjoying all that paradise has to offer. But a shadow falls over the charming island when a body is found in the water below the infamous Salto di Tiberio cliff.
