Not long after she's gone, the crew of the yacht reports having found a dinghy in the port, and within it, a disfigured corpse. Also at anchor is an eighty-five-foot luxury boat with a somewhat shady crew. Both boats will have to stay in Vigàta until the investigation is over—the unidentified man was poisoned, it seems. Based on the information—and misinformation—the mysterious woman shared with him, Montalbano begins to think the occupants of the yacht just might know a little more about the man's death than they're letting on. \u003cb\u003ePraise for Andrea Camilleri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“There’s a deliciously playful quality to the mysteries Andrea Camilleri writes about a lusty Sicilian police detective named Salvo Montalbano.”—\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e “The books are full of sharp, precise characterizations and with subplots that make Montalbano endearingly human… Like the antipasti that Montalbano contentedly consumes, the stories are light and easily consumed, leaving one eager for the next course.”—\u003ci\u003eNew York Journal of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e “This series is distinguished by Camilleri’s remarkable feel for tragicomedy, expertly mixing light and dark in the course of producing novels that are both comforting and disturbing.”—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e “The novels of Andrea Camilleri breathe out the sense of place, the sense of humor, and the sense of despair that fills the air of Sicily.”—Donna Leon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  “Hailing from the land  of Umberto Eco and La Cosa Nostra, Montalbano can discuss a pointy-headed book like \u003ci\u003eWestern Attitudes Towards Death \u003c\/i\u003eas unflinchingly as he can pore over crime-scene snuff photos.
