About the Book

Winning fans in Europe and America for their dark sophistication and dry humor, Andrea Camilleri's crime novels are classics of the genre. Set once again in Sicily, The Patience of the Spiderpits Inspector Montalbano against his greatest foe yet: the weight of his own years. Still recovering from the gunshot wound he suffered inRounding the Mark, he must overcome self-imposed seclusion and waxing self-doubt to penetrate a web of hatred and secrets in pursuit of the strangest culprit he's ever hunted. The kidnapping of a beautiful young university student, Susanna Mistretta, rocks the community ofVigàta. Distrusting of his colleagues' ability to solve the case, Montalbano jumps in, his accute senses picking up on the subtleties that will leading his investigation on a winding trail of provincial politics, odious journalists, and delicious Italian food. A mystery unlike any other, this emotionally taut story brings the Montalbano saga to a captivating crossroads.

About the Author :
Andrea Camilleri (1925-2019) wrote the internationally bestselling Inspector Montalbano mysteries as well as historical novels. His books have been made into television shows in Italy and translated into thirty-two languages. His thirteenth Montalbano novel, The Potter's Field, won the Crime Writers' Association International Dagger Award and was longlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Stephen Sartarelli is an award-winning translator and poet. Grover Gardner is an award-winning narrator with over a thousand titles to his credit. Named one of the "Best Voices of the Century" and a Golden Voice by AudioFile magazine, he has won three prestigious Audie Awards.

Review :
"Camilleri is as crafty and charming a writer as his protagonist is an investigator." -- "Washington Post" "Delivers what fans have come to expect: a perfectly blended mix of comedy and melancholy, and a hero whose joie de vivre is perpetually under siege from an absurd world." -- "Booklist" "Gardner's narration of previous books in the series is apparent in the way he brings the grumpy Montalbano to life. His sympathetic narration helps listeners understand Montalbano's inner battles as he seeks to solve a kidnapping case...Gardner's performance ensures that the characters within the story are easily distinguishable, which is particularly helpful given all the Sicilian names and places. Like the best British police procedurals, Camilleri's focuses on the personality of its main character, and Gardner delivers it beautifully." -- "AudioFile" "Montalbano is a delightful creation." -- "USA Today" "Narrator Grover Gardner...provides his usual excellent reading. Mystery lovers, especially those with an interest in Italian culture, will enjoy this." -- "SoundCommentary.com" "The witty writing and acerbic protagonist should appeal to fans of Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse." -- "Publishers Weekly"
