Translation of: La stagione della caccia.

Fofo opens his own pharmacy in Vigata and his remedies are sought be many. But he soon finds himself entangled with the local nobility: Don Filippo - a philandering marquis set on producing a new heir, his long-suffering wife Donna Matilde, his eccentric elderly father Don Federico, his son Federico and beautiful daughter 'Ntonto above all. But it won't be long before death visits Vigata - and the town and its most noble family will never be the same again...
Both a delightful murder mystery and a comic novel of huge brio, fired be love and obsession and filled with memorable characters, Hunting Season is the latest captivating book published in English from the bestselling author of the Inspector Montalbano series." - Back cover
