For Inspector Montalbano life is never easy, except perhaps when he can grab a private lunch at his favourite restaurant or relax in his own place with a little home-cooking. But these opportunities don’t come very often, not when the Inspector is grappling with politics, mafioso, unreliable witnesses and unreliable cops. Yet even his most unreliable cop is led astray not by the scent of money but the scent of a woman.

In these four new gripping cases, Inspector Montalbano must face challenges from all of the above and more. While out swimming he finds himself face to face with a floating corpse which will lead him into a dark world of kidnapped children; someone is starting a mob war between the Sinagras and Cuffaros; a young girl’s kidnapping and the money involved raises Montalbano’s suspicions; and the death of an old miser brings to light a long dead romance.

Love, murder, deception and deliverance, it’s all in a day’s work for Italy’s favourite detective – just as soon as he’s finished lunch. Episodes:
