Klappentext On a Sunday in 1993, sixteen-year-old Elisa Claps went to church in Potenza, Italy - and was never seen alive again. Elisa's family are convinced that Danilo Restivo, a local boy with a fetish for women's hair, was responsible - but he is never charged. Tobias Jones goes in search of the truth about Restivo, on a trail that takes him from the families caught up in the murders to the highest echelons of Italian power - and finally to justice. Blood on the Altar by Tobias Jones is a gripping work of true crime from the bestselling author of The Dark Heart of Italy Zusammenfassung It's not until 2010, when Elisa's decomposed body is found in the church where she went missing, that the two cases are linked and Restivo is finally dealt with.
