description: The body of one of the local 'movers and shakers' is found in a seedy part of town. The coroners verdict is death from natural causes but Inspector Montalbano is not ready to close the case. Picking his way through a labyrinth of high-comedy, delicious meals, vendetta firepower, and carefully planted false clues, Montalbano can be relied on, whatever the cost, to get to the heart of the matter.
