Murder, betrayal, office politics, temptation ... it's all in a day's work for Detective Salvo Montalbano. With his always loyal and sometimes effective police squad, he solves crimes in the town of Vigata, crossing paths with Mafia dons, priests, housewives, liars and saints. All the while he confronts his personal demons, which war against his professional ideals, his commitment to his beautiful long-distance girlfriend and his constant flirtation with the ultimate temptress, Italian cuisine. Shot in the ancient, sunwashed Sicilian city of Ragusa, and the breathtaking surrounding countryside.
