Publisher's Synopsis
Montalbano is grappling with a double mystery, one that emerges from the past and another that leads him into the future. Vigata is bustling as the new filming location for a Swedish television series set in the 1950s, and the director asks the locals to track down movies and vintage photos to faithfully recreate the air of Vigata at that time. Engineer Ernesto Sabatello, rummaging in the attic of his house, finds some films shot by his father between 1958 and 1963, always on the same day, 27 March, and always the same shot: the outside wall of a country house. Montalbano hears the story and, intrigued, begins to investigate its meaning. Meanwhile, a middle school is threatened by a group of armed men, leading Montalbano to delve into the world of social media.
