The sixth novel in Camilleri's brilliantly atmospheric, savagely funny Sicilian crime series.
Half the retired people of Vigàta have invested their savings with a financial wizard who has disappeared, along with their money. As Montalbano investigates this labyrinthine financial scam, he finds himself at a serious disadvantage: a hostile superior has shut him out of the case, he's on the outs with his lover Livia, and his cherished Sicily seems to be becoming so ruthless and vulgar that Montalbano wonders if any part of it is worth saving.
Drenched with atmosphere, crackling with wit, The Scent of the Night is Camilleri at his most addictive.
Andrea Camilleri is one of Italy's most famous contemporary writers. The Montalbano mystery series have been translated into nine languages, and have been bestsellers worldwide. The television series based on his books screens on SBS and the DVDs are also bestsellers. He lives in Rome.
Stephen Sartarelli is a poet and translator. He lives in New York.
