The commissioner does not pass a good moment, disturbed by the news coming from Genoa, he even thinks about resigning from the police. Montalbano during the usual swim, finds a corpse to which he tries to give an identity. During the search, he participates in the arrival of a boat of illegal immigrants among which there is a child who reminds him so much of François. A few days later he discovers that that child has lost his life and he could certainly have avoided this end, since he had noticed the resistance that the child felt towards his "mother". Thanks to the confidences of the Swedish friend Ingrid, former lover of a man found dead, the commissioner finds a common denominator between the two stories: a North African criminal organization that operates in the trafficking of children regularly lands in Sicily, hiding them as humanitarian rescues with the collaboration of local elements; the child had understood and tried to escape, and for this he was killed; the other body is the local person responsible for the trafficking, executed by the boss for having raised his head too much and attracted attention. Eventually Montalbano and his team manage to dismantle this network of human trafficking, but the commissioner is wounded.
