In 1980's Vigàta, a restless Inspector Montalbano brings his brash yet clear-sighted investigative style to 8 enthralling cases. 'Death at Sea' finds the detective seeking to bring justice to crimes - from those involving jilted lovers and deadly family affairs to an encounter featuring the assassination attempt against the Pope to murders in unexpected places - always with the mafia not far behind. This collection is an essential addition to any Inspector Montalbano fan's bookshelf and an excellent way to introduce new readers to Andrea Camilleri's unforgettable slice of Sicily.
