![]() ![]() Montalbano’s world is one of vice and deception, but the man himself has an unwavering, if unusual, moral compass. From prostitutes to gangsters, thieves to kidnappers and beyond, almost every character in this series is up to no good in some form or another. Set in a fictional town on the Italian coast, called Vigata, the stories are famed for being violent and featuring some of the worst of human behaviour. As well as the nearly 30 full-length Inspector Montalbano novels, the author also wrote a selection of short stories, compiled into many collections. The series is still going to this very day, with the books spanning nearly 20 years, from the early 90s to the 2020s. Originally published in Italian, and now translated into many languages and popular around the world, Andrea Camilleri’s series about a police inspector with a unique combination of underworld connections and moral compass, is intriguing and unrivalled. The Inspector Montalbano TV series has become popular in the UK and around the world, but it differs greatly from the unique and pioneering series of books on which it is based. ![]()
