Andrea Camilleri is one of the better known authors to have hit Britain s bookshops, with works such as The Shape of Water and The Terracotta Dog.

Salvo Montalbano is the chief of a small team of detectives, amongst whom he commands great respect. He is a typical detective in that he is a bit of a loner, but he does have a more human side than some - he does at least have a girlfriend, ...

The story is set in Sicily, which is a new setting for me.

The author Andrea Camilleri is one of Italy s most famous modern writers. He lives in Italy. His books have now been translated into nine languages and have reached the bestseller lists in Italy and Germany. All the books from the Inspector Montalbano ...
