I am really excited to offer a copy of the newest novel in
the New York Times bestselling Inspector Montalbano series, THE AGE OF DOUBT,
by Andrea Camilleri.
With their dark sophistication and dry humor, Andrea
Camilleri's hugely popular Sicilian crime novels continue to win more and more
fans in America. The day after a storm, Inspector Montalbano encounters a
strange woman who expresses interest in a certain yacht scheduled to dock that
afternoon. Not long after she's gone, the yacht's crew reports finding a
disfigured corpse. Also at anchor is a luxury vessel with a somewhat shady
crew. Both boats will have to stay in Vigàta until the investigation is over
and, based on information from the woman, Montalbano begins to think the
occupants of the yacht might know more about the man's death than they're
letting on.
“As with
Camilleri's other Montalbano novels, familiar personalities and settings don't
fail to delight. The inspector and his colorful crew remain quirky and unpredictable,
and the mysteries continue to entertain. This esteemed series is a great
example of local color and characters who will appeal to fans of mysteries set
in international locales.” –Library Journal
''This series is
distinguished by Camilleri's remarkable feel for tragicomedy, expertly mixing
light and dark in the course of producing novels that are both comforting and
disturbing.'' –Booklist
“The awkward humanity and everyday sadness of Camilleri’s characters make them instantly sympathetic, while wry commentary on language, food, and local customs lend color.” –Publisher’s Weekly
