Andrea Camilleri's novels starring Inspector Montalbano have
become an international sensation and have been translated
from Italian into eight languages, ranging from Dutch to
Japanese. The Shape of Water is the first book in
this sly, witty, and engaging series with its sardonic take
on Sicilian life.
Early one morning,
Silvio Lupanello, a big shot in the village of Vigàta, is
found dead in his car with his pants around his knees. The
car happens to be parked in a rough part of town frequented
by prostitutes and drug dealers, and as the news of his
death spreads, the rumors begin. Enter Inspector Salvo
Montalbano, Vigàta's most respected detective. With his
characteristic mix of humor, cynicism, compassion, and love
of good food, Montalbano goes into battle against the
powerful and the corrupt who are determined to block his
path to the real killer. This funny and fast-paced Sicilian
page-turner will be a delicious discovery for mystery
afficionados and fiction lovers alike.
