  The Overnight Kidnapper: An Inspector Montalbano Mystery

  Andrea Camilleri The next novel in the irresistible and transporting New York Times best-selling Inspector Montalbano mystery series
  
  The day gets off to a bad start for Montalbano: while trying to break up a fight on Marinella beach, he hits the wrong man and is stopped by the Carabinieri. When he finally gets to the office, the inspector learns about a strange abduction: a woman was abducted, drugged, and then released unharmed a few hours later. A few days later, the same thing happens again, but this time the woman abducted is the niece of Enzo, the owner of Montalbano's favorite trattoria. The only link between the two events is that both women are 30 years old and work in a bank.
  
  Alongside this investigation, Montalbano has to deal with an arson case. A shop that sells household appliances has burned down, and its owner, Marcello Di Carlo, seems to have vanished into thin air. Has he run off with his lover after a holiday in the Canary Islands? Is he fleeing from his creditors, or was he murdered by the Mafia for not paying their protection money? At first this seems like a trivial case, but a third abduction — yet again of a girl who works in a bank — and the discovery of a body bring up new questions. Whose body is it? And where has Di Carlo's secret lover gone?

  I racconti di Nené

  Andrea Camilleri Con le sue storie Andrea Camilleri riesce sempre a creare una magia narrativa. Si sentono gli odori e si percepiscono gli sguardi. Con poche pennellate evoca i personaggi in un modo talmente vivo da renderli realmente presenti. Con pochi tratti ce li fa conoscere nella loro intimità e con le loro piccole debolezze così umane. Ma sempre con uno sguardo insieme ironico e affettuoso. Ed è per questo che finiamo per amarli: ci sembra di conoscerli, di aver fatto con loro un tratto di strada.
  
  I racconti raccolti in questo audiolibro ci restituiscono al meglio l'affabulatore Camilleri. Tra i più intimi, autobiografici e sentiti del romanziere siciliano, questi racconti fulminanti ci riservano una sorpresa in più, perché i personaggi evocati si chiamano Leonardo Sciascia e Luigi Pirandello, Eduardo De Filippo e Renato Rascel, Jean Genet e Samuel Beckett, George Patton. Ed è così che Camilleri ci porta per mano dentro storie vere, che appartengono alla sua vita e alla sua memoria, e che finalmente vedono la luce.
  
  L'avvento del fascismo e lo sbarco degli Alleati, il separatismo e la mafia, le amicizie e la famiglia, gli incontri con i grandi maestri e, su tutto, lei: l'amata Sicilia.
  
  Raccolti da Francesco Anzalone e Giorgio Santelli.
