THE COOK OF THE HALKYON

Camilleri, Andrea

Εκδότης Picador , ISBN 9781529053371

The Cook of the Halcyon is the penultimate novel in the Inspector Montalbano mystery series from the master of Sicilian crime, Andrea Camilleri. Moments later the all-white schooner, which looked like a hospital ship, began to pass ever so slowly before him, as if wanting to show itself off in all its beauty. The name on the prow said: Halcyon.

Two deaths - the suicide of a recently fired worker and the murder of an unscrupulous businessman - lead Inspector Montalbano to the Halcyon, a mysterious ship that visits Vigata's port each day. With very few crewmen, no passengers, and a stern large enough to land a helicopter, it piques the Inspector's interest straight away. In the midst of this, a rare trip to Genoa to visit Livia ends with the Vigata police department in disarray, and Inspector Montalbano's position as the head of the commissariat in jeopardy.

It will be up to Montalbano to fix the damage done.

Συγγραφέας

Ο ΑΝΤΡΕΑ ΚΑΜΙΛΛΕΡΙ γεννήθηκε στη Σικελία το 1925 και πέθανε στη Ρώμη το 2019. Ο πιο πολυδιαβασμένος Ιταλός συγγραφέας του καιρού μας, άργησε ν’ αφοσιωθεί στο γράψιμο, κι όταν το αποφάσισε, στα εξήντα του, έγινε αμέσως ένα μοναδικό εκδοτικό φαινόμενο. Ολόκληρη η Ιταλία, και όχι μόνο η ιδιαίτερη πατρίδα του, η Σικελία, αιχμαλωτίστηκε απ’ αυτόν τον μεγάλο τεχνίτη της πλοκής και της γλώσσας, του «πατρικού» σικελικού ιδιώματος. Andrea Camilleri is one of Italy's most famous contemporary writers. His books have sold over 65 million copies worldwide. He lives in Rome. The Inspector Montalbano series, which began with The Shape of Water, has been translated into thirty-two languages and was adapted for Italian television, screened on BBC4. The Potter's Field, the thirteenth book in the series, was awarded the Crime Writers' Association's International Dagger for the best crime novel translated into English. In addition to his phenomenally successful Inspector Montalbano series, he is also the author of the historical comic mysteries Hunting Season and The Brewer of Preston.
