The Smell of the Night (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. Aglow with local color, packed with flint-dry wit, as fresh and clean as Mediterranean seafood â‚¬" altogether transporting. Long live Camilleri, and long live Montalbano.â‚¬Â A.J. Finn, #1Â New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ The Woman in the Window

Half the retirees in VigÂ¡ta have invested their savings with a financial wizard who has disappeared, along with their money. As Montalbano investigates this labyrinthine financial scam, he finds himself at a serious disadvantage: a hostile superior has shut him out of the case, heâ‚¬s on the outs with his lover Livia, and his cherished Sicily is turning so ruthless and vulgar that Montalbano wonders if any part of it is worth saving. Drenched with atmosphere, crackling with wit, The Smell of the Night is Camilleri at his most addictive.
