In these four tense and exciting tales the Inspector investigates a series of multiple house robberies with a darker secret at their core and a childhood legend that comes back to haunt him; he finds himself being misdirected by a purposefully confusing array of mysterious bombings letters and one tempting - if all too obvious - seduction; Burglary at a supermarket turns out to be much more and the murder of a young girl has political implications; and women turn the tables with robbery and murder while the Inspector and Livia find themselves too close to a sad and deadly truth.

It is no wonder that Inspector Montalbano is Italy's favourite detective, both in print - in Andrea Camilleri's award winning novels - and now on television as inhabited by actor Luca Zingaretti in a role that rivals the finest detectives America and Europe has to offer. In these four irresistible tales, the Inspector is forced to contend with not only murderers, criminals and errant husbands who will do everything to avoid his detection, but local politicians, police bureaucracy, unreliable judges, lethally argumentative mafia families, hysterical wives, psychic and psychotic sisters and so much more. From a discovered body in a buried crime through corrupt charities saving immigrant women, kidnapped horses and dark sexual compulsions, Montalbano has a lot on his plate. But not so much that there isn't room for something sweet, whether in his favourite restaurant or in the privacy of his own home.

Based on the bestselling crime novels of Andrea Camilleri, Inspector Montalbano is Sicily's finest detective. Respected by the community and his subordinates, perhaps less so by his superiors, on an island where two major crime families are constantly battling for supremacy, the Inspector has his work cut out for him. Joined by his compatriots, Mimi, Fazio and Catarella, In these superb tales the Inspector investigates the delicate matter of the murder of a mature housewife and prostitute; a tale of corruption and murder that builds to a mud pyramid; the terrible truth that lies at the heart of a nest of vipers; and perhaps the most brutal murder he has ever encountered that, when the terrible truth surfaces, must be dealt with as per procedure. While his long-tested Livia waits patiently, inspiring and guiding him from time to time, Inspector Montalbano continues to battle the forces above and below him in search of truth, guilt and the punishment of those who most deserve it.
