The Inspector Montalbano Mysteries - Book 16
Treasure Hunt
“Superlative…Once again, Camilleri’s sardonic sense of humor distinguishes this Mediterranean crime novel from the pack.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Interest in Andrea Camilleri's taciturn but epicurean inspector is at an all-time high. And with three of the last five novels in the series, including the award-winning Potter's Field, hitting the New York Times bestseller list, this latest installment is certain to up the ante and win over a multitude of new fans.
In Treasure Hunt Inspector Montalbano is hailed as a hero after news cameras film him scaling a building, gun in hand, to capture a pair of unlikely snipers. Shortly thereafter the inspector begins to receive cryptic messages in verse from someone challenging him to a treasure hunt. Intrigued, he accepts, treating the messages as amusing riddles-until they take a dangerous turn.
