Before the day has fully dawned, a white flame ignites on the shore. Suddenly, the desperate flapping begins, the trembling beat of a seagull's wings that cries out in despair and makes painful spirals, as if it is being twisted, from bottom to top, around its beak turned towards the sky.
The mysterious disappearance of Inspector Fatsio from the Vigata police station, corpses discovered and retrieved from wells in desolate and barren areas, hidden and controversial beings, sad passions, base seductions and gossip, binoculars and telescopes, dangerous voyeurism and miserable kleptomania, trade in chemical weapons involving immoral politicians.
And in a room, an empty chair, amid rude and vile torture objects, stains of dried blood, the smell of death, dark things, scattered signs of immorality and horrifically inhumane coercion.
And while Montalbano pieces together the fragments of a fragmented criminal story, he cannot escape the turmoil caused by the noise of the seagull's wings as it dies...
