    <![CDATA[ Following the long-running success he has enjoyed on bestseller lists in Europe, Inspector Salvo  Montalbano is now winning over American readers and critics alike as &quot;one of the most engaging  protagonists in detective fiction&quot; (<em>USA Today</em>). Now, in Excursion to Tindari, Andrea  Camilleri's savvy and darkly comic take on Sicilian life leads Montalbano into his most bone- chilling case yet.<p> In two seemingly unrelated crimes, a young Don Juan is found murdered and an elderly couple is  reported missing after an excursion to the ancient site of Tindari. As Montalbano works to solve  both cases, he stumbles onto Sicily's ghastly &quot;new age&quot; of brutal and anonymous criminality.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[ Ob ein Autor wohl stolz oder eher eifersüchtig ist, wenn der Held seiner Krimis drauf und dran ist, ihm den Bekanntheitsgrad streitig zu machen? Andrea Camilleris Commissario Salvo  Montalbano ist sicherlich so eine Figur, die nun auf gut 300 Seiten einen neuen Fall vor sizilianischer Kulisse zu lösen hat: altbekannt, vertraut, sympathisch, so eine Mischung aus Brummbär und gutmütigem Kumpel, dazu natürlich ein schlauer Fuchs, erfahren und routiniert, ein guter Esser und Feinschmecker allemal -- so viel Zeit muss sein. So kennt man ihn, Montalbano, der mit seinen &quot;Methoden, die oft und gerne die Grenzen zur Illegalität überschreiten,&quot; nicht ganz unangefochten ist.<p>  Und dann: Ein junger Mann wird ermordet, ein altes Ehepaar, das im gleichen Haus wohnt, verschwindet spurlos und natürlich ist da die sizilianische Mafia, die ihre Finger mit im Spiel hat. Ganz klar, irgendwie hat das alles miteinander zu tun, auch wenn die einzelnen Geschehnisse zu Beginn noch astronomisch weit auseinander liegen. Montalbano und sein Team, allesamt weder sklavische Handlanger noch gesichtslose Hintergrundfiguren, leisten seziererische Puzzle- und Aufdeckungsarbeit.<p>  Camilleris Krimis haben keine Eile mit spektakulären Verbrechen, überfallen den Leser nicht brutal und plump mit hohler Action und faden Effekten, sie bleiben ruhig und sacht, aber wirklich nie langweilig. Stetig fließend verbünden sich die vielfältigen Ebenen des Geschehens filigran gesponnen und spannend im furiosen Höhepunkt. Der kommt dann schließlich doch so plötzlich, dass man etwas Mühe hat, angesichts der verwickelten verbrecherischen Machenschaften den Überblick zu behalten.<p>  Dennoch: Der Bestsellerautor mit dem Händchen für Millionenauflagen versteht es auch in seinem neuen Buch, Commissario Montalbano und seinen kniffeligen Fall zu einer letztlich runden Kriminalgeschichte zusammenzuführen. <em>--Barbara Wegmann</em></p></p></p>]]>
