Rounding the mark


Increasingly disillusioned with his government and the world in general, Inspector Montalbano is considering retirement. He is starting to feel his age, and even his favourite restaurant has closed. But when he bumps into a dead body during a bracing swim, his detective instincts are aroused once more. Particularly when the most likely identity of the victim is a man already long buried . . .

"Montalbano's colleagues, chance encounters, Sicilian mores, even the contents of his fridge are described with the wit and gusto that make this narrator the best company in crime fiction today"
Guardian

"Among the most exquisitely crafted pieces of crime writing available today . . . Simply superb"
Sunday Times

"One of fiction's greatest detectives and Camilleri is one of Europe's greatest crime writers"
Daily Mail
