'Tomorrow hunting season opens. And I don't want to get shot . . .'
Sicily, 1880. When a stranger arrives in Vigąta, the town's inhabitants immediately become unsettled. It seems the young man, Fofņ, is the son of a local peasant legendary for his home-grown medicines; a man who was murdered many years before.
Fofņ opens his own pharmacy in Vigąta and his remedies are sought by many. But he soon finds himself entangled with the local nobility: Don Filippo - a philandering marquis set on producing a new heir, his long-suffering wife Donna Matilde, his eccentric elderly father Don Federico, his son Federico, and above all, his beautiful daughter Ntontņ. But it won't be long before death visits Vigąta, and the town and its most noble family will never be the same again . . .
Praise for Andrea Camilleri
'Entertaining and every so often moving . . . The comedy is broader, bawdier, and darker in Hunting Season' Wall Street Journal
'The novels of Andrea Camilleri breathe out the sense of place, the sense of humour, and the sense of despair that fill the air of Sicily. To read him is to be taken to that glorious tortured island' Donna Leon
