In the third book in Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano series, the urbane and perceptive Sicilian detective exposes a viper's nest of government corruption and international intrigue in a compelling new case. When an elderly man is stabbed to death in an elevator and a crewman on an Italian fishing trawler is machine-gunned by a Tunisian patrol boat off Sicily's coast, only Montalbano suspects the link between the two incidents. His investigation leads to the beautiful Karima, an impoverished housecleaner and sometime prostitute, whose young son steals other schoolchildren's midmorning snacks. But Karima disappears, and the young snack thief's life as well as Montalbano's is on the line.
This is the 3rd book in the Montalbano series by Andrea Camilleri. It is located in Sicily where wine, women and mystery are plenty. There are two mysteries going on and the link of these mysteries is seen early on by Montalbano. There are plenty of humorous situations happening with lots of twists and turns throughout the book. Montalbano comes to terms with fatherhood and the death of his father and a young boy on the run from killers. The relationship between Livia and Montalbano is also discussed. Lots of entertaining fun and if you love crime with mystery then you will love these books.
