Never has Inspector Montalbano's character - a unique blend of
humor, cynicism, compassion, earthiness, and love of good food -
been more compelling than in The Snack Thief. When an elderly man
is stabbed to death in an elevator and a crewman on an Italian
fishing trawler is machine-gunned by a Tunisian patrol boat off
Sicily's coast, only Inspector Montalbano suspects the link between
the two incidents. His investigation leads to the beautiful Karima,
an impoverished house cleaner and sometime prostitute, whose young
son steals other school children's mid-morning snacks. But Karima
disappears, and the young snack thief's life - as well as
Montalbano's - is endangered when the inspector exposes a viper's
nest of government corruption and international intrigue.
