A Nest of Vipers

An elderly man is found dead, gunshot wound through the back of his head, in the dining room of his Vigàtan beach house. The son who discovered the body has the most to gain from his father's untimely death, and his sister is quick to point out the reasons why. But as Inspector Montalbano learns more about the victim's dishonourable life, he soon finds half of Vigàta has a motive for the murder.
