Wer war Angelo Pardo? Ein harmloser Angestellter? Ein fürsorglicher Bruder? Ein leidenschaftlicher Liebhaber? Commissario Montalbano sieht sich mit einem rätselhaften Mordfall konfrontiert: Man hatte Pardo, von einem Stirnschuss getötet, in obszöner Position in seiner Wohnung aufgefunden. Alles deutet auf ein Verbrechen aus Leidenschaft hin, denn Frauen, das wird Montalbano schnell klar, gab es genügend in Pardos Leben. Seine Schwester zum Beispiel, die ätherische Michela, mit der ihn offensichtlich ein inniges Verhältnis verband, oder die schöne Elena, eine der letzten Geliebten Pardos. Doch auch wenn die beiden Frauen alles daran setzen, Montalbano die Sinne zu verwirren, verliert Montalbano nie den Blick für all jene unscheinbar wirkenden Details, die ihn schließlich einer folgenreichen Tragödie auf die Spur kommen lassen ...
"You 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. Aglow with local color, packed with flint-dry wit, as fresh and clean as Mediterranean seafood - altogether transporting. Long live Camilleri, and long live Montalbano." A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
With their dark sophistication and dry humor, Andrea Camilleri's classic crime novels continue to win more and more fans in America. The latest installment of the popular mystery series finds the moody Inspector Montalbano further beset by the existential questions that have been plaguing him of late. But he doesn't have much time to wax philosophical before the gruesome murder of a man-shot at point-blank range in the face with his pants down-commands his attention. Add two evasive, beautiful women as prime suspects, some dirty cocaine, mysterious computer codes, and a series of threatening letters, and things soon get very complicated at the police headquarters in Vigàta.

Pressestimmen
Praise for Andrea Camilleri and the Montalbano Series
The idiosyncratic Montalbano is totally endearing. The New York Times
Camilleri is as crafty and charming a writer as his protagonist is an investigator. The Washington Post Book World
Hailing from the land of Umberto Eco and La Cosa Nostra, Montalbano can discuss a pointy-headed book like Western Attitudes Toward Death as unflinchingly as he can pore over crime-scene snuff photos. He throws together an extemporaneous lunch of shrimp with lemon and oil as gracefully as he dodges advances from attractive women. Los Angeles Times
[Camilleri s mysteries] offer quirky characters, crisp dialogue, bright storytelling and Salvo Montalbano, one of the most engaging protagonists in detective fiction Montalbano is a delightful creation, an honest man on Siciliy s mean streets. USA Today
Camilleri is as crafty and charming a writer as his protagonist is an investigator. The Washington Post Book World
Like Mike Hammer or Sam Spade, Montalbano is the kind of guy who can t stay out of trouble Still, deftly and lovingly translated by Stephen Sartarelli, Camilleri makes it abundantly clear that under the gruff, sardonic exterior our inspector has a heart of gold, and that any outburst, fumbles, or threats are made only in the name of pursuing truth. The Nation
Camilleri can do a character s whole backstory in half a paragraph. The New Yorker
Subtle, sardonic, and molto simpatico: Montalbano is the Latin re-creation of Philip Marlowe, working in a place that manages to be both more and less civilized than chandler Los Angeles. Kirkus Reviews (starred)
The 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
