His command of the first antiballistic-missile-capable cruiser in the Fleet, USS Savo Island, is threatened when he's called home to testify before Congress.

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 sastrería más afamada de Vigàta y con la que traba una complicidad inmediata.

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