The Treasure Hunt is the sixteenth gripping novel in Andrea Camilleri s darkly humorous Inspector Montalbano series.
When a crazed elderly man and his sister begin firing bullets from their balcony down onto the Vigàta street below, Inspector Montalbano finds himself a reluctant television hero.
A few days later, when a letter arrives containing a mysterious riddle, the Inspector becomes drawn into a perplexing treasure hunt set by an anonymous challenger. As the hunt intensifies, Montalbano is relieved to be offered the assistance of Arturo Pennisi, a young man eager to witness the detective s investigative skills first hand.
Fending off meddling commissioners and his irate girlfriend, Livia, the inspector will follow the treasure hunt s clues and travel from Vigàta s teeming streets to its deserted outskirts: where an abandoned house overlooks a seemingly bottomless lake. But when a horrifying crime is committed, the game must surely be laid aside. And it isn t long before Montalbano himself will be in terrible danger . . .
