Inspector Montalbano, Volume 11

The two newest Montalbano films are a tantalisng step in a new direction for the Inspector.

MY BELOVED LIVIA  (SALVO AMATO, LIVIA MIA)

A security guard discovers a young man behaving strangely at a mansion. The young man is the son of Montalbano’s house-keeper Adelina. And his motivations are mysterious – Montalbano treats him to a few days in jail with his mother’s blessing! At the city archive, a reserved young woman is slain and there seems no plausible reason. Adding to the drama, she’s an old friend of Livia’s. The investigation peels back the covers on some disturbing truths in the upper echelons of Vigata. In the meantime, Montalbano also solves the mystery at the mansion!

THE SAFETY NET (LA RETE DI PROTEZIONE)

A Swedish film crew are in Vigata, and somehow, Mimi becomes enmeshed in a romantic imbroglio. Montalbano is approached by an engineer who has uncovered reels of film that reveal a mystery. And the results are compelling indeed.

At school, Mimi Augello’s son’s class is threatened by some masked men, which leads Montalbano’s team into the murky world of cyber bulling and crime.
