Vincitore del premio internazionale "Egi Volterrani". Il romanzo si svolge nel 1922, nella bassa padana, e segue una linea narrativa semplice: l'uccisione della bellissima e scandalosa figlia del signorotto locale.

Ragagnin dà voce alla nebbia, al fiume, al ponte, al cadavere della ragazza, a una ghiandaia, a una blatta.
