€œYou either love Andrea Camilleri or you haven€t read him yet. Each novel in this wholly addictive, entirely magical series, set in Sicily and starring a detective unlike any other in crime fiction, blasts the brain like a shot of pure oxygen...transporting. Long live Camilleri, and long live Montalbano.€
€"A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window 

Montalbano investigates the death of wealthy accountant Barletta in a case involving a string of mistresses and family secrets.

Inspector Montalbano enjoys simple pleasures: delicious food, walks along the water, the occasional smoke€"yet these are just the backdrop to his duties as a detective.

His latest case is the killing of the wealthy Cosimo Barletta. Thought to be a widower living out a quiet life by the sea, Cosimo€s sudden death, by gunshot to the neck, opens up his past to scrutiny. What Montalbano uncovers is Cosimo€s trove of salacious photographs, used to extort young women, and a history full of greed and corruption. Montalbano, though resolved to find the killer, muses on where justice lies€"in his pursuit of a suspect or with one of Cosimo€s innumerable victims getting the revenge they deserved?
 
€œThe novels of Andrea Camilleri breathe out the sense of place, the sense of humor, and the sense of despair that fills the air of Sicily.€ €"Donna Leon
