August Heat, written by Andrea Camilleri, marks the tenth installment in the Inspector Montalbano series, which has been successfully adapted into a major BBC4 television series. As the lazy and slow month of August arrives at the peak of the Sicilian summer, Inspector Montalbano reassures his girlfriend, Livia, that there is no possibility of murders taking place during their planned relaxing holiday in a villa he has discovered for them. However, when Livia's friend's young son goes missing, a series of events unfold that will undoubtedly disrupt Inspector Montalbano's peaceful interlude.

The investigation takes an unexpected turn when Montalbano discovers a secret apartment and a gruesome find in an old trunk. As he navigates through the case, he must also cope with the scorching heat, the suspicious death of an Arab labourer, and the tempting allure of a beautiful girl.

August Heat is followed by the eleventh book in the series, titled The Wings of the Sphinx. This installment continues the thrilling adventures of Inspector Montalbano as he solves mysteries and unravels the intricate web of crime in the picturesque setting of Sicily.
