Inspector Montalbano embarks on his final case and, as with Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Morse before him, his last adventure is as thrilling as it is surprising. Riccardino marks a fitting end to a remarkable series of novels. When Inspector Montalbano receives an early-morning phone call it proves to be the start of a very trying day. For the caller expects him to arrive imminently at a rendezvous with some friends. Before Montalbano can reply, the stranger identifies himself as 'Riccardino', and hangs up. Later that day, news comes in of a brutal slaying in broad daylight by an unknown assassin who makes his getaway on a motorbike. And when the inspector learns of the victim's identity - a man called Riccardino - his troubles are only just beginning. Soon he must contend with the involvement of a local bishop, and a fortune-teller who reports some strange goings-on in her neighbourhood. All roads lead to a local salt mine, but the case proves stubbornly intractable - until Montalbano receives another unexpected call...
