Montalbanos First Case & Other Stories

<p><b><i>Montalbano's First Case and Other Stories </i>is a brilliant collection of short stories, personally chosen by Andrea Camilleri.</b><br><br>It follows Inspector Montalbano from his very first case in Vigàta, in which he stumbles upon a young girl lurking outside a courthouse with a pistol in her handbag. When she is taken in for questioning and won't utter a single word, Montalbano must find another way to learn who she is trying to kill, and why . . .<br><br>Other cases include a missing woman who has run away from the love of her life; an old married couple who appear to be rehearsing their suicides; and a crime so dark there's only one person the inspector can call for help.<br><br>With twists and turns aplenty, these short stories have all the wit, mystery and culinary gusto that Camilleri's fans have come to love him for.</p>
