Dreams have begun to weigh on Montalbano. He fears that he is slipping into a world that increasingly seems fake. He realizes that the boundaries between reality and illusion are intertwining around him. He also has the feeling that he is being manipulated.
A mysterious and hostile figure is playing a clever game with him. He zealously attempts to mislead him with anonymous phone calls and letters. He counts the steps of the inspector. He directs them. He pushes them to where it is pointless to reach, where nothing matches anything, into traces that the inspector cannot verify if they are real and which fade away or lead to a dead end.
Montalbano has his own cinematic culture. And he remembers the old film The Lady from Shanghai by Orson Welles, the film noir with tricks and illusions. Montalbano steps into the movie. He sees himself disoriented in the final scene, in the hall with mirrors at an amusement park...
