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 Vigata, 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,
Vigata'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.
