Description: An unidentified corpse is found near Vigta, a town known for its soil rich with clay, and a woman reports the disappearance of her husband, who is related to a local mobster. Inspector Montalbano, remembering the story of Judas, slowly unravels the crime.
Brief description:
Andrea Camilleri (1925-2019) wrote the internationally bestselling Inspector Montalbano mysteries as well as historical novels. His books have been made into television shows in Italy and translated into thirty-two languages. His thirteenth Montalbano novel, The Potter's Field, won the Crime Writers' Association International Dagger Award and was longlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
Review Quotes:
"Montalbano has never been one for just the facts, ma'am, but his thirteenth recorded case goes appealingly over the top into slapstick and character-driven farce. Especially recommended for series fans and mystery readers who enjoy the journey more than the solution."
