Death at Sea

Description

A collection of eight ingenious short stories following Inspector Montalbanoâ investigations into Sicilyâ murky underworld, all served with Camilleriâ trademark wit, and Montalbanoâ typical appetite. Featuring stories adapted for BBC4â Inspector Montalbano, this is the perfect place to start reading Sicilyâ favourite crime author. From the title story, Death at Sea, in which the alleged manslaughter of an engineer upon a fishing trawler leads Inspector Montalbano to uncover an even more sinister crime, Andrea Camilleri takes his readers through eight cunning cases from the Vigàtan police files. Starting with an arson attack on a hotel which leaves the distraught owner as the chief suspect; to the mysterious case of a woman who goes missing in an underpass with a million lire in her handbag; to a threat on Montalbanoâ own life, as an anonymous motorcyclist takes a shot at the detective.
