El olor de la noche / The Smell of the Night

Andrea Camilleri

Una nueva y apasionante aventura del comisario mas famoso de Italia: Salvo Montalbano.

El otono ha regresado a Vigata con algunas sorpresas. Mientras Mimi Augello, el brazo derecho del comisario Montalbano, ha tirado la toalla y esta a punto de casarse, don Salvo aguanta la enesima reprimenda de Livia por haber estropeado el sueter que le regalo. Pero, como la vida hay que vivirla, Montalbano ya esta de nuevo husmeando en un caso extrano, tan anomalo como que el cadaver aun no ha aparecido. La curiosidad irrefrenable del comisario y su innato sentido de la sospecha lo inducen a investigar la desaparicion de un financiero y su ayudante, que han desvalijado a medio pueblo y alrededores. La incognita podria explicarse como una vulgar fuga con el botin sustraido a las numerosas almas credulas de la euforia de la bolsa, pero otra bastante mas atroz parece imponerse.

En cualquier caso, a estos enigmas se aboca Montalbano con esa falta de prejuicios y esa logica tan particular que tanta admiracion despierta. En la medida en que su habilidad y su afan de justicia le permitan llegar hasta la verdad, podra entonces decirse que el olor de la noche habia cambiado: era un perfume fresco y ligero, un perfume de hierba tierna, de verbena y albahaca .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

You either love Andrea Camilleri or you haven’t read him yet. Each novel in this wholly addictive, entirely magical series, set in Sicily and starring a detective unlike any other in crime fiction, blasts the brain like a shot of pure oxygen. Aglow with local color, packed with flint-dry wit, as fresh and clean as Mediterranean seafood - altogether transporting. Long live Camilleri, and long live Montalbano. A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

Half the retirees in Vigata have invested their savings with a financial wizard who has disappeared, along with their money. As Montalbano investigates this labyrinthine financial scam, he finds himself at a serious disadvantage: a hostile superior has shut him out of the case, he’s on the outs with his lover Livia, and his cherished Sicily is turning so ruthless and vulgar that Montalbano wonders if any part of it is worth saving. Drenched with atmosphere, crackling with wit, The Smell of the Night is Camilleri at his most addictive.
