While making an illegal search of a seemingly deserted house, Sicilian Police Inspector Salvo Montalbano stumbles upon the naked body of a woman. He arranges for the body to be found and then proceeds to investigate the crime. Montalbano regularly butts heads with police bureaucracy, and his sharp wit and sharper tongue add dimension to the convoluted case with its eccentric cast of suspects.

This review is from: Voice of the Violin (Montalbano 4) (Hardcover)

I just discovered Andrea Camilleri recently. His books are great. Inspector

Montalbano is a police Inspector in Sardinia. Probably in his 40's.

If this book were made into a movie, the actor that would be perfect for the role would be, Robert De Niro. Camilleri's stories will capture you from

start to finish.
