Barbara SilbersteinSICILY Salvo Montalbano Mysteries by Andrea Camilleri Camilleri captures that special blend of lethargy, cynicism, and reluctant commitment that drives the best fictional Italian cops. In his novels character development and mood are almost as important as plot. Sicilian Inspector Salvo Montalbano is an unmarried, fiftyish macho charmer who reads Faulkner and loves food, especially fish from the waters of his native Vigata.

The series has been translated into 16 languages, including Italian.
