All the beloved, irascible Auntie Poldi wanted from her Sicilian
retirement was time to enjoy sunshine, a free-flowing supply of
wine, and a sultry romance with Chief Inspector Montana. But then
her idyll is rudely disrupted by the last person she wants to see
on her doorstep - John Owenya, detective inspector with the
Tanzanian Ministry of Home Affairs, who is also her estranged,
lying cheat of a husband. Not only is John's sudden reappearance
putting a kink in Poldi's dreamy love affair with Vito Montana, but
his presence also comes with a plea for help - and unwanted clashes
with Mafia. Where is John's half-brother? What is the
ten-million-dollar 'it' that John's brother was last seen with that
has both the Sicilian and Tanzanian mobs in a frenzy? With only a
postcard that has a phone number and a name, 'Handsome Antonio', on
the back, Auntie Poldi hops begrudgingly (albeit with a great deal
of gumption and panache) back into the saddle (in this case, an
immaculate red Maserati Cabrio from the 80s with cream leather
upholstery). The faster she finds Handsome Antonio, the sooner she
can get John Owenya out of her hair and love-life. But the people
Poldi discovers along the way may very well knock her immaculate
wig askew.
