About this deal

This victim loved her cat and her goldfinch very much, thanks to which the Commissioner finds out what really happened. The series becomes americanised from that episode onwards ( although there were already some signs of the change for the worse in the two previous episodes) and the "feel good " factor one would feel after watching a episode was gone. During his daily morning swim, he finds an unidentified corpse and begins an investigation as to the identity of the deceased. The scenario of the story is the world of underground races, the favourite pastime of a certain landed aristocracy that bets heavily.

When a bomb goes off in front of an empty warehouse, the police think it is some sort of warning, and Montalbano turns his attention to the tenants of a nearby building. The Catalanotti Method” ( Il Metodo Catalanotti ) is based on the 26th of the 28 books of the detective series by Italian director/author/storyteller Andrea Camilleri. After the demolition of an old silo, a diary is found, written in the summer of 1943 by a young fascist, Carlo Colussi, in which he confesses that he has done something terrible. Montalbano promises him that he will investigate and, as soon as the man is dismissed, he is joined by the father of Inspector Fazio to find out about his son, who has not shown up at their appointment.

Austrian actress Katharina Böhm, then Lina Perned (both dubbed by Claudia Catani) and lastly Sonia Bergamasco played his girlfriend, Livia.

Montalbano investigates criminal acts which he always manages to solve by reconstruction thanks to his intelligence and the help of his team which includes his deputy, Domenico 'Mimì' Augello, Giuseppe Fazio, Galluzzo, and Agatino Catarella. Penguin Books: New York, 2016 and "Come contò Aulo Gellio" in Un mese con Montalbano by Andrea Camilleri (not yet translated into English).Montalbano has to eliminate many possible suspects, and think outside the box to figure out how the murderer was able to get away undetected. As the case is sorted out, it becomes clear that the killer has carefully prepared a series of deceptions to trip up Montalbano, but in the end the commissioner gets at the truth.
