It is no wonder that Inspector Montalbano is Italy's favourite detective, both in print - in Andrea Camilleri's award winning novels - and now on television as inhabited by actor Luca Zingaretti in a role that rivals the finest detectives America and Europe has to offer.

In these four irresistible tales, the Inspector is forced to contend with not only murderers, criminals and errant husbands who will do everything to avoid his detection, but local politicians, police bureaucracy, unreliable judges, lethally argumentative mafia families, hysterical wives, psychic and psychotic sisters and so much more.

From a discovered body in a buried crime through corrupt charities saving immigrant women, kidnapped horses and dark sexual compulsions, Montalbano has a lot on his plate. But not so much that there isn't room for something sweet, whether in his favourite restaurant or in the privacy of his own home.
