A coastal town, waterfront promenade and restaurant terrace glow in the evening light in this crime-story scene

Prompt

(Poliziottesco Wednesday): Detective Rossi: Deep Heat (Commissario Rossi: la polizia in crisi nera). 
A crime wave has hit the city and the cops can't seem to get it together. Detective Rossi has had enough of the bureaucracy and the politicians tying his men's hands (and freeing the criminals to terrorize the city again!) - but can one hardnosed cop make a difference in a world gone mad? Maybe this nosey journalist can become an important ally!
