Description
|
|
|
|
In this fourth Inspector Montalbano mystery, his gruesome discovery of a beautiful, naked woman suffocated in her bed immediately sets him on a search for her killer (while trying to hide the fact that he found her during an unauthorized search of the house). Among the suspects are her aging husband, a famous doctor; a shy admirer, now disappeared; an antiques-dealer from Bologna, her lover; and Anna, the victim's friend, whose charms Montalbano cannot help but appreciate. But it is a mysterious, reclusive violinist who holds the key to this murder. With his sardonic take on small-town Sicilian life, his gustatory predilections, his delicate balancing act between the official and unofficial worlds he inhabits, and his genius for deciphering the most enigmatic of crimes, Inspector Salvo Montalbano has won millions of fans worldwide. First appearing in Italian in 1994, and in Stephen Sartarelli's superb annotated translations since 2002—as well as in an Italian-language television series starring Luca Zingaretti—Andrea Camilleri's sly and witty series "breathes out the sense of place and the sense of humor that fills the air of Sicily" (Donna Leon).
