About this audiobook

A wave of refugees has arrived on the Sicilian coast, and Inspector Montalbano and his team have been stationed at port, alongside countless volunteers, to receive and assist the newcomers.

Meanwhile, Livia has promised their presence at a friend’s wedding, and the inspector, agreeing to get a new suit tailored, meets the charming master seamstress Elena Biasini. But while on duty at the dock one late night, tragedy strikes, and Elena is found gruesomely murdered.

Between managing the growing crowds at the landing, Montalbano delves into the world of garments, in the company of an orphaned cat, where he works to weave together the loose threads of the unsolved crimes and close the case.

law-enforcement, Sicily, situational-humor, verbal-humor, murder-investigation, translated, refugees, angst***** Montalbano's at the end of his wits and the whole team is exhausted by endlessly long nights of dealing with hundreds of refugees from Tunisia and other African nations each night for days on end in addition to their daytime issues. To top it off, his longtime girlfriend expects him to have a special suit tailored for an event with one of her friends and tells him just who is the person for the job. She is a kind and gentle woman with a small staff and a very accommodating manner. Until she is brutally murdered. So Montalbano leaves the wharf duties to his overworked staff and diligently pursues all the frayed threads of the case. Another excellent work translated by the inimitable Steven Sartarelli and interpreted by narrator Grover Gardner.
