Description
—A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
Andrea Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano novels have become an international sensation, with fans eagerly awaiting each new installment.
In Game of Mirrors, Inspector Montalbano and his colleagues are stumped when two bombs explode outside empty warehouses—one of which is connected to a big-time drug dealer. Meanwhile, the alluring Liliana Lombardo is trying to seduce the Inspector over red wine and arancini. Between pesky reporters, amorous trysts, and cocaine kingpins, Montalbano feels as if he’s being manipulated on all fronts. That is, until the inspector himself becomes the prime suspect in an unspeakably brutal crime.
Advance Praise
Praise for Camilleri’s Montalbano Series:
“Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano mysteries might sell like hotcakes in Europe, but these world-weary crime stories were unknown here until the oversight was corrected (in Stephen Sartarelli’s salty translation) by the welcome publication of The Shape of Water…This savagely funny police procedural…prove[s] that sardonic
laughter is a sound that translates ever so smoothly into English.” —The New York Times Book Review
“[Camilleri’s mysteries] offer quirky
characters, crisp dialogue, bright storytelling—and Salvo Montalbano, one of
the most engaging protagonists in detective fiction…Montalbano is a delightful
creation,
an honest man on
Siciliy’s mean streets.”—USA Today
“Camilleri is as crafty and charming a writer as
his protagonist is an investigator.”
—The Washington Post Book World
“Like Mike Hammer or Sam Spade, Montalbano is
the kind of guy who can’t stay out of trouble…Still, deftly and lovingly
translated by Stephen Sartarelli, Camilleri makes it abundantly clear that
under the gruff, sardonic exterior our inspector has a heart of gold, and that
any outburst, fumbles, or threats are made
only in the name of pursuing truth.”—The Nation
“Camilleri can do a character’s whole backstory
in half a paragraph.” —The New Yorker
