A young Don Juan is found murdered in front of his apartment building early one morning, and an elderly couple is reported missing after an excursion to the ancient site of Tindari - two seemingly unrelated cases for Inspector Montalbano to solve amid the daily complications of life at Vigà ta police headquarters. But when Montalbano discovers that the couple and the murdered young man lived in the same building, his investigation stumbles onto Sicily's brutal 'New Mafia', which leads him down a path more evil and more far-reaching than any he has been down before.
The fifth in the hit Italian crime series, Excursion to Tindari is another darkly comic detective story featuring Inspector Montalbano. Camilleri deals with the Mafia in this one but it is the new mafia not following the old rules. There is mystery and humor in this book along with snappy dialogue. I look forward to reading the sixth book in the series. The Scent of Night. If you love books of police procedural with laughter, then you would love these books.
