Inspector Montalbano: The First Three Novels in the Series includes the books The Shape of Water, The Terracotta Dog, and The Snack Thief from Andrea Camilleri's popular series.

The Shape of Water: In a desolate area in Vigàta, the dark side of the town thrives: drug dealers and prostitutes ply their trade. When the body of Silvio Luparello, one of the local figures, is discovered, Inspector Montalbano takes on the investigation and, despite pressure from his inspector, a local judge, and a bishop, is determined to uncover the truth.

The Terracotta Dog: When two lovers, dead for more than fifty years, are discovered in a cave on the mountain, watched over by a painted terracotta dog, Inspector Montalbano’s investigation will lead him on a journey through Sicily's past and into the dark heart of a family amidst the horrors of World War II.

The Snack Thief: When an elderly man is fatally stabbed in an elevator and a sailor on an Italian fishing boat is murdered by a Turkish patrol off the coast of Sicily, only Inspector Montalbano suspects a connection between the two events.
