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.

Whether watched individually or as a collection the detective stories of Andrea Camilleri's Inspector Montalbano as brought to life by Luca Zingaretti in the role of the Inspector are as rich evocative varied and exciting as any in literature. In these four compelling stories Montalbano finds himself seduced by a young Lieutenant while investigating murder and smuggling in an age of doubt; he must pull out all the stops to save Fazio who has been kidnapped by ruthless killers while he comprehends the dance of the seagull; he must save his good friend and associate Mimi from himself by guiding his misguided actions and solving the mystery of the body in the potter's field; and he must untangle a web of clues designed to entrap him in a perilous and murderous treasure hunt. Under the warm gaze of a Mediterranean sun pausing only for the occasional fine meal or fine company the Inspector must battle with bureaucracy above him and the mafia below while solving cases designed to baffle and mislead. For when it comes to murder there are often many questions but only one solution.
