Snake's Nest (2008) is part of the series about Inspector Salvo Montalban. Set in the fictional Sicilian town of Vigàtu, the novel combines criminal suspense, psychological depth, and Camilleri's signature humor with a critique of Sicily's social problems
The novel follows the declining Roman bourgeois family of Ardengo over the course of several days: widow Mariagrazia, lover Leo, son Michele, and daughter Carla – all trapped in apathy, lies, sexual manipulation, and moral indifference.
The novel is an important representative of verismo, Italian realism, and depicts the lives of people from the south of Italy, especially the conflicts between the poor peasantry and the decaying aristocracy.
