[Commissario Montalbano 19] • A Beam of Light

******“You either love Andrea Camilleri or you haven’t read him yet. Each novel in this wholly addictive, entirely magical series, set in Sicily and starring a detective unlike any other in crime fiction, blasts the brain like a shot of pure oxygen — altogether transporting. Long live Camilleri, and long live Montalbano.” A.J. Finn, #1 *New York Times *bestselling author of *The Woman in the Window*****

“In Sicily, where people do things as they please, Inspector Salvo Montalbano is a bona fide folk hero.”—*The New York Times Book Review***

When Inspector Montalbano falls under the charms of beautiful gallery owner Marian, his longtime relationship with Livia comes under threat. Meanwhile, he is also troubled by a strange dream as three crimes demand his attention: the assault and robbery of a wealthy merchant's young wife, shady art deals, and a search for arms traffickers that leads him deep into the countryside, where the investigation takes a tragic turn.
