As an angry octogenarian holds a terrified and lovelorn secretary at gunpoint, Inspector Montalbano is reluctantly drawn into the case. The secretary's boss, a financial adviser, has vanished along with several billion lire entrusted to him by the good citizens of Vigata. Also missing is the adviser's young colleague, whose uncle just happens to be building a house on the site of Inspector Montalbano's very favourite olive tree... Ably abetted by his loyal and eccentric team, Montalbano, the food-loving, commitment-phobic inspector, returns for another delicious investigation served up in vintage Camilleri style.

Life is a little unusual at the moment because we are all in lockdown due to coronavirus. So I’m putting a box of books outside at the bottom of my drive for anyone walking past on their daily exercise.

I've ended up with two copies of this so I will review when I read the other one.

Not taken from my bookbox so putting it in the Little Free Library as the public libraries are closed due to the coronavirus. Don't worry it doesn't last long on paper. And LFL have produced a best practise guide if you are still worried.
