The irresistible Inspector Montalbano returns for his sixteenth mystery.
And it isn\'t long before Montalbano himself will be in terrible danger....
But when a horrifying crime is committed, the game must surely be laid aside.
Fending off meddling commissioners and his irate girlfriend, Livia, the inspector will follow the Treasure hunt\'s clues and travel from Vigata\'s teeming streets to its deserted outskirts: where an abandoned house overlooks a seemingly bottomless lake.
As the Hunt intensifies, Montalbano is relieved to be offered the assistance of Arturo Pennisi, a young man eager to witness the detective\'s investigative skills first hand.

When a crazed elderly man and his sister begin firing bullets from their balcony down onto the Vigata street below, Inspector Montalbano finds himself a reluctant television hero. \'What\'s in there, Chief?\' \'If it\'s what I think, it\'s something so horrific that it\'ll haunt your dreams for the rest of your life...\'.

Montalbano opened the door to step out.
