The scorching August sun, a villa filled with ghosts. In its underground rooms, the part of the house located beneath the surface of the ground, a disgusting swarm of cockroaches, mice, and spiders is unleashed in the darkness. The dark side invades abruptly. Just as barbarism awakens in civilization, with violence, deceit, and corruption.
The villa, an architectural fraud that resulted from illegal construction. The hidden basement was the place where the body of an innocent underage girl was brutally tortured. The dark rooms, in turn, hide, inside a chest, the corpse of the victim.
A basement. A sticky criminal web surrounds the villa: “dangerous relatives, secret agreements between politicians and mobsters, mafia and entrepreneurs, politicians and banks, banks and loan sharks.” Inspector Montalbano wants to uncover everything in this novel, tangled in facts and people with dual presence.
