Inspector Montalbano, Volume 1

Set in a fictitious Sicilian seaside town called Vigata, Inspector Montalbano is a series of feature length films based on the writings of Andrea Camilleri.

Salvo Montalbano is a brilliant character who stands alone in the history of detective fiction. He’s Sicilian of course, but he’s also a gourmand, prone to bouts of ill-temper, and rarely completes any investigation without enjoying a magnificent meal. Oh, did we tell you he’s also afraid of flying? He’s a stylish dresser and an instinctive detective of the highest level.
