A translation from Italian of one of the Inspector Montalban detective stories that were turned into what became a popular TV series in Italy. As in all of the stories, the action takes place in a fictitious town in Sicily. The inspector is an amusing character, reminiscent of Commissario Brunetti in Donna Leon's stories, with much the same cynical and sardonic reaction to the local, in this case Sicilian, goings-on.
