Review

''Like Mike Hammer or Sam Spade, Montalbano is the kind of guy who can't stay out of trouble.'' --Nation, praise for the series

''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, New York Times bestselling author

''Expect the ending to make you squirm, though you have to admire Camilleri's ability to disarm horror with his particular charm; the town of Vigàta quietly soldiers on.'' --Kirkus Reviews

''Camilleri blends a locked-room mystery with a vivid sense of setting and an appealing cast of supporting characters.'' --Publishers Weekly

''As always, Camilleri's ability to make subtle changes in tone, from light to dark, continues to define this perennially popular series.'' --Booklist
