Detective Montalbano: Episode 37 [DVD]

Product Information

The investigation is further complicated by the presence of a young and attractive head of the forensic team who awakens a deep passion in Montalbano, stirring feelings he hadn't experienced in years. Combines two short stories: "Una faccenda delicata" appearing in Un mese con Montalbano by Andrea Camilleri (not yet translated into English) and "Povero Maria Castellino" appearing in Gli arancini di Montalbano by Andrea Camilleri (not yet translated into English).

Thus both cases seem to be connected, and Montalbano eventually uncovers a drugs operation involving Adriano Lombardo and his mafia connections, with Liliana and Arturo caught in the middle.Meanwhile, Lucia Gambardella, a journalist who has been investigating rigged contracts in Vigata for years, tells Montalbano about an attempt on the life of her informant, Saverio Piscopo, to prevent him reporting massive corruption among the various construction companies in the province. Montalbano dreams that he is in an old quarry with a box containing the corpse of his boss, Bonetti Alderighi, with Catarella muttering in Latin. The plot of the science fiction novel concerns robots and robot "part" transplants and seems to hint at organ trafficking.

There was the usual opera buffa cameo from uniformed officer Catarella and his moustached serial philanderer colleague Mimi but truthfully this leave taking was a knowing celebration of everything the inspector stands for; wry humour, eye-rolling irritation, extravagant passion and of course, a good lunch. On the same day as the disappearance of the couple, the body of a young man is found in front of the apartment building where the old couple had lived. There are inconsistencies in the account of the supermarket manager, Guido Nicotra, who is later found to have hanged himself, although the pathologist suspects it was actually murder. I am eager to read the final book, Riccardino, which may offer a more definitive answer (scheduled for release in the U.After 14 seasons, 22 years, and many more shots of espresso than firearms discharged, on Saturday police procedural Inspector Montalbano (BBC Four) came to a feature-length conclusion.

I never understood why they put such an unatractive actress to play the "third' Livia, who looks almost anorexic and is very nervous (it shows and it's not part of the acting), quite the opposite of the first Livia.

Montalbano learns that the foreman's former co-worker was a young building contractor who, twenty years earlier, had been accused and convicted of the murder of his partner, with whose wife he was having an affair. A few days later, he discovers that the child has died, and he could certainly have spared him this tragic end, since he had noticed the resistance that the child felt toward the "mother". Montalbano begins investigations with the help of the victim's twin sister, Adriana (who tries to seduce him), to find out who killed her sister.

The mafia put out a hit on Montalbano to stop him from investigating any further, and he only escapes being murdered because he once saved the life of one of the hitmen. Montalbano find that only blanks had been fired, but these events create precedents for the murder of a rich woman, Mrs Joppolo, later on. It is in this golden environment that Montalbano has to investigate, because after the horse vanishes, a guard of the stables is also found murdered. Pippo Ragonese, notista politico di Televigàta, era dotato di due cose: una faccia a culo di gallina e una contorta fantasia che lo portava a immaginare complotti.Penguin Books: New York, 2016 and "Come contò Aulo Gellio" in Un mese con Montalbano by Andrea Camilleri (not yet translated into English).
