About the book: 
In 1880s Vigàta, a stranger comes to town to open a pharmacy. Fofò turns out to be the son of a man legendary for his magic garden of plants, fruits, and vegetables that could cure any ailment. That is, until he was found murdered. Fofò escaped the fate of his father, but has just reappeared looking to make his fortune. After getting mixed up with a local philandering bigwig set on producing an heir, he finds himself surrounded by a string of highly suspicious deaths.
 
An absurd, quirky murder mystery that recalls the most hilarious and farcical scenes of Shakespeare and The Canterbury Tales, Hunting Season will appeal to readers of historical fiction and all things Italian!
