“That’s all?”
“I thought it was.”
Camilla looked back at the photograph.
The older man’s face remained hidden beneath the black line.
For the first time, she wondered whether her father had died knowing that someone was still searching for something in their home.
And whether that person had finally returned.
The Man at the Gate
That afternoon, Camilla received a message from an unknown number.
Your father should have kept his promises.
A second message followed.
You have something that doesn’t belong to you.
Then came a photograph of the house taken from across the street.
It had been taken that morning.
Camilla showed the messages to the police.
They advised her not to respond and arranged additional patrols while investigators worked to identify the sender.
Edoardo stayed with her until evening.
As they sat in the living room, Camilla suddenly remembered the video.
The shadow in the kitchen.
