An Inspector Montalbano Mystery by Andrea Camilleri
During a bracing swim in the sea, Montalbano encounters a floating
corpse next to him in the water. His investigative instincts are aroused when
he discovers the victim is a man who is believed to have been buried some time
ago.
The Inspector is also investigating the circumstances of a hit and run
accident that killed a young child and quickly discovers there is a connection with his
floating corpse.
The compassionate Inspector is horrified to uncover a child trafficking
racket taking place in Sicily that will have disastrous consequences for its
young victims. He vows to avenge the child killed by the hit and run driver and
bring the evil organisers of the trafficking to justice, whatever the risk to
himself.

Throughout the book Montalbano is constantly on the look out for an
excellent meal and trying to keep his long distance love affair with his girlfriend
Livia going.
This is another gripping and entertaining mystery from Camilleri,
despite the seriousness of the subject he is dealing with.
