9En Tirar del hilo, Camilleri sacude nuestra conciencia poniendo el foco en uno de los dramas sociales m s terribles e intensos de la actualidad europea: la crisis de la inmigraci n.

Cuando Vig ta se llena de pateras, Salvo Montalbano se ve completamente desbordado de trabajo. Tras haber sobrevivido a las olas traicioneras, cientos de migrantes llegan hasta la costa en p simas condiciones, sin medios ni garant as, por lo que ayudar se convierte en un deber para el comisario y sus hombres.

Como si ese apremiante desastre no bastara, Montalbano, acuciado por Livia ante la inminencia de las bodas de plata de unos amigos, se pone en manos de Elena, una bella modista que regenta la sastrer a m s afamada de Vig ta y con la que traba una complicidad inmediata. Pero cuando Elena aparece brutalmente asesinada, entre algodones libaneses y rollos de tela, el comisario, con la colaboraci n nada menos que del gato de la v ctima, har todo lo posible para desenmara ar el ovillo de tan horrendo crimen.

En Tirar del hilo, su libro n mero cien y el vigesimonoveno dedicado a Salvo Montalbano, Camilleri nos brinda una magn fica novela negra que pone el foco en la crisis migratoria, una de las tragedias m s duras de la realidad europea actual, «una excusa estupenda para levantar viejas y nuevas fronteras con alambre de espino .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Wholly addictive, entirely magical series, set in Sicily and starring a detective unlike any other in crime fiction... altogether transporting.--A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A WASHINGTON POST BEST MYSTERY OF 2019
A BEST BOOK OF 2019, NPR's Book Concierge

A wave of refugees has arrived on the Sicilian coast, and Inspector Montalbano and his team have been stationed at port, alongside countless volunteers, to receive and assist the newcomers. Meanwhile, Livia has promised their presence at a friend's wedding, and the inspector, agreeing to get a new suit tailored, meets the charming master seamstress Elena Biasini. But while on duty at the dock one late night, tragedy strikes, and a woman is found gruesomely murdered. Between managing the growing crowds at the landing, Montalbano delves into the world of garments, in the company of an orphaned cat, where he works to weave together the loose threads of the unsolved crimes and close the case.
