Inspector Montalbano, praised as "a delightful creation" (USA Today), has been compared to the legendary detectives of Georges Simenon, Dashiell Hammett, and Raymond Chandler. As the fourth mystery in the internationally bestselling series opens, Montalbano's gruesome discovery of a lovely, naked young woman suffocated in her bed immediately sets him on a search for her killer. Among the suspects are her aging husband, a famous doctor; a shy admirer, now disappeared; an antiques-dealing lover from Bologna; and the victim's friend Anna, whose charms Montalbano cannot help but appreciate. But it is a mysterious, reclusive violinist who holds the key to the murder.
Andrea Camilleri is the author of many books, including the Montalbano series, which has been translated into eight languages.
Stephen Sartarelli is a poet and translator.
Camilleri is as crafty and charming a writer as his protagonist is an investigator. (The Washington Post) In Sicily, where people do things as they please, Inspector Salvo Montalbano is a bona fide folk hero. (The New York Times Book Review)
