Inspector Montalbano (The) - As Practice Wanted

Inspector Montalbano (The) - As Practice Wanted

This time the body is a beautiful girl with no name; found naked; with only a bathrobe soaked in blood; abandoned on the cold floor of the doorway of Via Pintacuda. ​​But what drove the girl to drag herself; lifeless; right into that doorway? Montalbano suspects that the victim is a prostitute from former Europe. And he hopes that the Cuffaros; who currently dominate the prostitution market in Vigata; isolate those responsible for such a brutal crime. In response, the commissioner will also have an attempt on his life. Luckily; one of the killers sent by the Cuffaros to kill him spares him; because a few years earlier Montalbano himself had saved his life. In the end; Montalbano will discover that the girl has decided to die in the doorway of the building on Via Pintacuda to direct the investigators towards a tenant. Not the murderer; but an accomplice; who witnessed; and filmed with a video camera; an orgy among local notables; masked but recognizable; which ended with the fatal wounding of the same girl. During this investigation - in which Ingrid and Livia meet for the first time - Montalbano meets a retired judge; Leonardo Attard. The man worries the commissioner because he is reviewing the trials he has celebrated; to be sure that his judgment has never been influenced by the problems of his private life. Even sensing the tragic epilogue of this review; Montalbano cannot avoid it.
