Castagnetti (informally known as \'Casta\') is a private detective who doesn\'t do things by the book.
The Salti Case marks the appearance of a new and memorable detective: an orphan who has pulled himself up from the mean streets..
As the Salati Case progresses, other corpses appear and Casta realises he\'s at the centre of an old-fashioned Italian whodunit.
He likes certainty, the kind of certainty that comes from seeing a skeleton.
Because Casta isn\'t the sort to content himself with "presumed dead".
The relatives of Signora Salati just want their their inheritance, but Casta is going to make sure they get their just desserts as well.
Before long he\'s reopening wounds from years ago and exposing family secrets to those who have tried to suppress them.
When a pompous notary commissions him to verify that a missing person is "presumed dead" in order to dispose of a dead woman\'s estate to the other heirs, Casta smells a rat.
