Editorial Review: Publishing News: 'They keep coming and I keep reading them, ever ready for another Montalbano experience...so compulsively addictive' Reviewing The Evidence: Camilleri's wonderful and witty writing style is always a joy to read. The Bookbag.com: I do love these books. They're about as close to perfection as it's possible to get. Sunday Telegraph: 'Montalbano's ironic political asides are more frequent and give added spice to Camilleri's entertaining picture of a small Sicilian town.' The Times: 'The ninth in the Montalbano series is as fresh and lively as any of its predecessors.' Daily Telegraph : 'another of Andrea Camilleri's faultlessly witty treats.' Synopsis: Motionless, Montalbano waited for the surf to enter his brain and wash it clean with each breaker. At last the first light wave came like a caress, swiiissshhh, and carried away, glugluglug, Elena Sclafani and her beauty, while Michela Pardo's tits, belly, arched body and eyes likewise disappeared. Once Montalbano the man was erased, all that should remain was Inspector Montalbano - a kind of abstract function, the person who was supposed to solve the case and nothing more, with no personal feelings involved.But as he was telling himself this, he knew perfectly well that he could never pull it off. Inspector Montalbano is beset by the existential questions that have been plaguing him of late. But he doesn't have much time to wax philosophical before the gruesome murder of a man - shot at point-blank range in the face with his pants down - commands his attention. Add two evasive, beautiful women as prime suspects, dirty cocaine, dead politicians, mysterious computer codes, and a series of threatening letters, and things soon get very complicated at the police headquarters in Vigata.

His usual slapstick routine of starting the day had fallen by the wayside, irrelevant random thoughts had been plaguing his mind, with a touch of forgetfulness, tiredness and that feeling of age had suddenly creep upon him. Within ten minutes of being at the station Montalbano is confronted by Signorina. Michela Pardo who cannot locate her brother Angelo, he may have been forty-two but had been missing for some forty eight hours and would always call when away. After a few questions and being won over by Michela's deep, violet lake eyes he was willing to check out her brother's apartment. Montalbano ... Read More: |
