Read Judge Surra Storyline:
A charming short story from the author of the celebrated Inspector Montalbano series.Sicily, 1862. In the newly united Italy, Judge Surra arrives in Montelusa to take charge of the local court, in a town where conflict has been kind to a select few.At first, Surra is baffled by the quaint local customs: cryptic anonymous notes, mutterings in the street, tasty—if tasteless—gifts of disembodied animal heads. However, buoyed by his twin passions for justice and fine dining, Surra is determined to settle into island life, no matter who stands in his way.Distilling his customary humour and tension into this miniature masterpiece, Andrea Camilleri casts an ironic eye on the corruption and charm of a turbulent small town, testing his naïve but noble hero against the darkest arts of the Mafia.Pages of Judge Surra :
