A Nest of Vipers (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery)

â‚¬Å“You either love Andrea Camilleri or you havenâ‚¬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...transporting. Long live Camilleri, and long live Montalbano.â‚¬Â
â‚¬"A.J. Finn, #1Â New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ The Woman in the WindowÂ

Montalbano investigates the death of wealthy accountant Barletta in a case involving a string of mistresses and family secrets.

Inspector Montalbano enjoys simple pleasures: delicious food, walks along the water, the occasional smokeâ‚¬"yet these are just the backdrop to his duties as a detective.

His latest case is the killing of the wealthy Cosimo Barletta. Thought to be a widower living out a quiet life by the sea, Cosimoâ‚¬s sudden death, by gunshot to the neck, opens up his past to scrutiny. What Montalbano uncovers is Cosimoâ‚¬s trove of salacious photographs, used to extort young women, and a history full of greed and corruption. Montalbano, though resolved to find the killer, muses on where justice liesâ‚¬"in his pursuit of a suspect or with one of Cosimoâ‚¬s innumerable victims getting the revenge they deserved?

â‚¬Å“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.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Donna Leon
