Chief Inspector Montalbano is on enforced sick leave. Then when a local girl goes mysteriously missing, the whole community takes an interest in the case. But why are the kidnappers so sure that the girl's impoverished father and dying mother will be able to find a fortune?
"Still recovering from his gunshot wound, Inspector Montalbano is feeling the weight of his years and has been withdrawing from society, but he will soon be forced to interact with others, compelled to intervene as a web of hatred and secrets threatens to squeeze its victims to death."

"Hauptbeschreibung Nachdem Commissario Montalbano eine Schussverletzung auskuriert hat, kann er es kaum erwarten, sein gewohntes Leben wieder aufzunehmen. Sein nächster Fall, die mysteriöse Entführung einer jungen Studentin, gibt ihm jedoch so manches Rätsel auf: Zu viele Details passen nicht zusammen, die Aussagen der Zeugen widersprechen sich. Doch das Netz der Verwirrungen, das hier ausgelegt wurde, scheint undurchdringbar und der stille Rächer geduldig genug, um in aller Ruhe abzuwarten, bis sein Opfer in die verhängnisvolle Falle tappt ..."
"Still recovering from his gunshot wound, Inspector Montalbano is feeling the weight of his years, and of his solitude. He's getting softer, more introspective, and critical of his life choices. But if withdrawing from society has become natural of late, he'll soon be forced to interact with others, compelled to intervene as a web of hatred and secrets threatens to squeeze its victims to death. This is Montalbano's most unusual and challenging case yet - and the one that will either change him or break him."

"Mieszkańcami Vigaty wstrząsa wiadomość o uprowadzeniu pięknej studentki Susanny. Rzecz jest o tyle dziwna, że powszechnie wiadomo, iż jej rodzina nie będzie w stanie zebrać żądanego okupu. Sprawa staje się jeszcze dziwniejsza, gdy porywacze, zamiast starać się jak najdyskretniej kontaktować z ojcem porwanej dziewczyny, czynią to za pomocą telelwizji. Komisarz Montalbano zaczyna dostrzegać w tej sprawie przemyślną, pełną fałszywych tropów intrygę utkaną przez cierpliwego pająka. Lecz nawet w konstrukcji tak na pozór doskonałej jak pajęcza sieć można znaleźć jeden słaby punkt."
