"La promessa del maresciallo" by Nino Genovese (Il Foglio Letterario, 2018)

Gianluca Mariangelo, a Sicilian living in the North, is dealing with the murder of a prostitute's daughter, a 15 y.o. whose pregnant body was found down a well. He regrets promising the mother that he'll find the killer - who isn't the father, or the step-father, or the boy friend. The motive of the killer and his supposed reason for how he disposed of the body, don't convince me.
