The fifteenth darkly humorous adventure starring Inspector Montalbano from bestselling author Andrea Camilleri is titled "The Dance of the Seagull." Inspector Montalbano is awake at dawn, sitting on his porch, when his attention is caught by a seagull that falls from the sky, performing a strange dance, before lying down to die. Montalbano is perplexed by what he has witnessed, and the scene hangs over him like an omen.

About to depart for a holiday with his girlfriend, Livia, Montalbano makes a quick trip to the police station to tie up loose ends. But when his dear colleague, Fazio, is discovered missing—and it transpires that the policeman has been involved in his own secret investigations—Montalbano instead launches a desperate search for his lost friend, as time begins to run out.

Navigating a shadowy maze of smuggling, blackmail, and the darkest murder, and moving from the docks of Vigàta to its deep, dry wells, where the mafia hide their terrible crimes, Inspector Montalbano must have his wits about him to unravel this tangled mystery.

Among the most exquisitely crafted pieces of crime writing available today, "The Dance of the Seagull" is simply superb. The novel is followed by the sixteenth Inspector Montalbano novel, "The Treasure Hunt."
