"Inspector Montalbano investigates two puzzling cases: Within days of each other two women whose only link is being bank employees are kidnapped, drugged, and then released unharmed hours later. However a third wakes is found naked with thirty shallow knife wounds. In an arson case, a shop is burned down and its owner has vanished into thin air"--,Provided by publisher.

The day gets off to a bad start: trying to break up a fight on Marinella beach, Montalbano hits the wrong man and is stopped by the Carabinieri. At the office, the inspector learns about a strange abduction: a woman was abducted, drugged, and then released unharmed a few hours later. A few days later, the same thing happens again. The only link: both women are thirty years old and work in a bank. Then there's the arson case that seems trivial: a shop that sells household appliances has burned down, and its owner, Marcello Di Carlo, seems to have vanished into thin air. A third abduction-- another woman who works in a bank-- and the discovery of a body bring up new questions. -- adapted from back cover
