Publisher's Synopsis
A young Don Juan is found murdered in front of his apartment building early one morning, and an elderly couple is reported missing after an excursion to the ancient site of Tindari - two seemingly unrelated cases for Inspector Montalbano to solve. But when he discovers that the couple and the murdered man lived in the same building, his investigation stumbles onto Sicily's brutal 'New Mafia', leading him down a path more evil and far-reaching than any he has been down before.
