First Edition
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Never has Inspector Montalbano's character - a unique blend of humor, cynicism, compassion, earthiness, and love of good food - been more compelling than in The Snack Thief. When an elderly man is stabbed to death in an elevator and a crewman on an Italian fishing trawler is machine-gunned by a Tunisian patrol boat off Sicily's coast, only Inspector Montalbano suspects the link between the two incidents. His investigation leads to the beautiful Karima, an impoverished house cleaner and sometime prostitute, whose young son steals other school children's mid-morning snacks. But Karima disappears, and the young snack thief's life - as well as Montalbano's - is endangered when the inspector exposes a viper's nest of government corruption and international intrigue. The third novel in Camilleri's savagely witty, brilliantly evocative Sicilian mystery series featuring Inspector Montalbano Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

First Edition
1st edition. Hardcover. Fine black cloth, very clean endpapers and pages, a trifle tanned, no foxing at all, tiny ding to some leaf edges, in a fine dustjacket, not price-clipped. The second of the author's Inspector Montalbano crime novels set in Sicily, and by far the hardest to find in such nice condition, or even at all. An excellent first impression of this novel.
