EXCURSION TO TINDARI

'Montalbano's colleagues, chance encounters, Sicilian mores, even the contents of his fridge are described with the wit and gusto that make this narrator the best company in crime fiction today.' - Guardian. This savagely funny police procedural is actually the fifth in the series and we have hand-picked a few that sound interesting and each is a stand-alone read. A young Don Juan is found murdered in front of his apartment building early one morning, and an elderly couple are reported missing after an excursion to the ancient site of Tindari. Two seemingly unrelated cases for Inspector Montalbano to solve amid the daily complications of life at Vigata police headquarters, but when he discovers that the couple and the murdered young man lived in the same building, he stumbles onto Sicily's brutal 'New Mafia', which leads him down a path more evil and far-reaching than any he has been down before. 324 page paperback.
