Zmijsko leglo (2008.) dio je serijala o inspektoru Salvu Montalbanu. Smješten u izmišljeni sicilijanski grad Vigàtu, roman spaja kriminalističku napetost, psihološku dubinu i Camillerijev prepoznatljivi humor, uz kritiku društvenih problema Sicilije.
The novel depicts the tragic fate of Mariuta (Marije Zef) and her younger sister Rosuta. The work shocked contemporaries with its boldness in depicting taboo subjects, and is today considered a classic portrait of female suffering in rural Italy.
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.
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.
