In the 20th novel in Andrea Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano series, the Sicilian detective is called upon to investigate two apparently unconnected crimes. He soon realizes that he is embroiled in a complex case involving corrupt politicians and the mafia.

From the creator of Inspector Montalbano, this comic novel is set in 1870s Sicily, shortly after its unification with Italy. The new prefect attempts to impose his authority on the unruly locals, who are determined to sabotage the opera he is producing for their theatre.
