Hunting season
Camilleri, Andrea2014
Book
In 1880s Vigata (Sicily), a stranger named Fofo, arrives in the town to open a pharmacy. Fofo turns out to be the son of a local peasant, legendary for his home-grown medicines; a man who was murdered many years before. Fofo escaped, and now has reappeared looking to make his fortune. He soon finds himself mixed up in the dealings of a philandering local Marchese set on producing an heir. An absurd, quirky historical murder mystery that recalls the most hilarious and farcical scenes of Shakespeare and The Canterbury Tales, Hunting Season will introduce readers to a refreshing new aspect of one of Italy's best-loved writers.
