Montalbano promises him that he will investigate and, as soon as the man is dismissed, he is joined by the father of Inspector Fazio to find out about his son, who has not shown up at their appointment. Montalbano brings François to his home, where Montalbano's girlfriend Livia looks after him; she wants to adopt the child. Montalbano finally discovers that Barletta was shot by his son Arturo who has serious financial problems, while the poisoning was carried out by his daughter Giovanna, who had an incestuous relationship with her father and was jealous of his new girlfriend, as well as being afraid of losing her legacy. The loud noise that wakes Montalbano is caused by the storm that agitates the sea until it touches the terrace of his house. A married couple, elderly theatre actors who are near the end of their lives, rehearse their joint death.

The Commissioner can count on two women who worked with the accountant Gargano; the first is a student who had sensed that something was not right, the other is the secretary of the accountant and is convinced of the innocence of the accountant. Montalbano opens the shutters of his room one morning to find the bloody corpse of a horse on the shore. The old man is too cultured and refined to be a simple vagrant, and they discover that he was once a surgeon who resigned after the death of a patient.

Almost simultaneously, Carmelo Catalanotti, a loan shark and theatre director, is found dead in his own flat. Seeing them together has never looked so good - bumbling Catarella, loyal Fazio, skirt-chasing Mimì and the ever-pragmatic Salvo.
