Chapter 25

Two miles into the tunnel, Wolf’s back pressed into the seat letting him know they were gaining altitude at a good rate. He leaned discretely, keeping a white-knuckle grip on the Jesus-bar, to grab a glimpse of Lia’s dashboard gauges.

No more than five car lengths behind Rossi, she was doing one hundred sixty kilometers per hour, a straight one hundred miles per hour. Wolf thanked Rossi for the nice round number, then held his breath and as they blew past another train of cars as if they were standing still.

They slowed to breathable speed as a series of flashing signs indicated a sharp turn, which turned out to be the end of the tunnel. The view was stunning, looking down on Lecco from what was at least a thousand feet up the steep Alpine mountain. They continued onward and upward for another few minutes.

Wolf craned his head to see the distant valley floor through the trees as they weaved through small traffic circles and switchback streets. “This seems to be far from town, and a really nice area.”

“Yes, they moved here a few years ago, when Valerio’s father died. He and his family were left an inheritance, and they didn’t hesitate to move to this nicer area. You’ll see his house. It’s quite beautiful.”

Wolf couldn’t help but think for a moment about his own father’s death, and how it had caused quite the opposite effect on his own family.
