Based on the bestselling novels of Andrea Camilleri, Inspector Montalbano operates within Italy’s precarious justice system. Solving crimes in a small Sicilian town, he must contend not only with the murderers, criminals and errant husbands who will do everything to avoid his detection, but also local politicians, police bureaucracy, unreliable judges, lethal mafi a families, hysterical wives, psychic sisters and more, so much more. Thankfully he can turn to fi ne Italian cooking and his girlfriend Livia for comfort – but even these small pleasures are often interrupted in the life and times of Inspector Montalbano.
