A challenging but thoughtful and intelligent Italian novel about a demise of a powerful family

Finished Part One of Nicola Lagioia's 2014 novel, Ferocity (Anthony Shugaar tr from the Italian), and after some rough going in the first chapters I've come to really like and appreciate this sometimes challenging 450-page novel. In essence, it's a crime novel that focuses on one family in Southern Italy (Bari), whose very wealthy father who from nothing built a vast empire of holdings and constructions projects - housing, highways, etc. - mostly in Italy but also across Europe. The adult children include a son who's young and highly successful oncologist, a two daughters, and a half-brother (father had a midlife affair) living in Rome and having some kind of severe psychiatric problem. At the outset, we see the older daughter at night walking naked and bloody in the middle of a highway, where she's struck by a truck and killed (the driver loses his leg in the collision). For some reason, as yet unexplained, the family goes to great lengths to redirect the story of the accident and to make it look as if the daughter killed herself by jumping from a parking-garage deck. Over the course of the first 200 pp., we learn much about the family history - and in particular how the father has entwined the children in many financial schemes by having them sign their names to documents promising collateral - all of which circles the mystery of the daughter's death and the strange cover-up. NL writes some really fine interior monologue - the foundation of most of this novel - but beware that, in following closely the workings of the minds of the various characters, he never steps back and to give context and he moves about quite a bit among various periods of time in the life of the family: Quite realistic, in that he captures how or minds actually work, but at first disorienting, at least until we get the characters more firmly established in our minds. There's all the material here for a Telanovela; I wonder if it's been optioned or produced already?
