La pista de arena

Between incredulous and horrified, the commissioner Salvo Montalbano contemplates from his window a nightmare image: a horse lies dead on the sand. A quick inspection on the beach shows that it is a magnificent thoroughbred that has been sacrificed with cruelty and cruelty. Despite not being exactly a defender of animals, the commissioner feels the need to bring to justice whoever has been capable of perpetrating such an act. Thus, with the help of his friend Ingrid, Montalbano will enter an environment to which he has little accustomed: that of equestrian circles, horse races and elegant charity parties, a world populated by high-flying businessmen , aristocrats and amazons of rip and tear. But from there to the clandestine bets and the rigged races barely half a step, and Montalbano will be placed in the crosshairs of shady characters who will threaten him in every possible way. Even, it will be a short time for his house to end up burning. What else can you expect from the mob?
