The fifth book in Andrea Camilleri's successful Italian detective series, "Trip to Tindari," is another darkly comedic mystery story featuring Inspector Montalbano. A phrase, a line, a suspicion somewhere will reveal a reason, any reason, for the disappearance of the elderly couple...

A young Don Juan encounters death outside his apartment building one morning, and an elderly couple is reported missing after a trip to the ancient site of Tindari – two seemingly unrelated cases for Inspector Montalbano to solve, amidst the daily complexities of life at the Vigata police station.

But when Montalbano discovers that the couple and the murdered young man were living in the same building, his investigation leads him into the fierce 'New Mafia' of Sicily, guiding him onto a darker and more dangerous path than any he has previously traveled. "Trip to Tindari" is followed by the sixth novel in the Inspector Montalbano series, "The Night Stalker."
