A scuotere la tranquilla vita della cittadina e la rassicurante routine del giornalista Giacomo Cassisi è la misteriosa morte, all'alba di un freddo giorno di gennaio, di Efre Vazzini, rampolla di una potente famiglia di imprenditori. Cassisi sceglie di indagare affidandosi al proprio intuito, cogliendo tracce che possono essere i versi di una canzone o il particolare di un quadro, il titolo di un romanzo o una ricetta culinaria.

Due omicidi legati fra loro, tra le campagne di Vendicari e il mare di Portopalo, turbano l'equilibrio imperfetto del paesaggio del Val di Noto nel bel mezzo della primavera siciliana. Il giornalista Giacomo Cassisi segue gli sviluppi dell'inchiesta, nel groviglio reso ancor più ingarbugliato dal filo che lega la sua amica Elena a Gina, la sorella di una delle vittime. La storia è raccontata in 47 brevi capitoli legati tra loro dai titoli di famose canzoni italiane, come fosse una colonna sonora.
