Synopsis

The sixth mystery in the Inspector Montalbano series, THE SMELL OF THE NIGHT brings the shady shenanigans of late twentiethcentury international finance to smalltown Sicily. A "financial wizard" entrusted with the savings of nearly half the retirees of Vigata mysteriously disappears with the money and a young man who worked for him. In a rather atypical case for Montalbano, the inspector finds himself initially shut out of the investigation by the everhostile commissioner BonettiAlderighi and forced to work from the shadows.
