Mother of sorrows

Croatia, autumn 2022. The tourist season has ended, and Split settles into an uneasy quiet. Ines works the reception desk of a seaside hotel. Her mother Katja, a cleaner, keeps the family about and cares for Ines and her younger brother, Mario. When Inspector Zvone is called to an abandoned factory on the city's edge, he finds the body seventeen-year-old Viktorija, daughter of a respected local doctor. The murder shocks the community and sends ripples through the lives of Ines, Katja, and Zvone - each forced to confront truths they would rather keep buried.
