A Vigàta, Montalbano è impegnato nella gestione degli sbarchi, nei soccorsi ai migranti, nello smascheramento degli scafisti. Ha la collaborazione del commissariato, di vari volontari, e di due traduttori di madrelingua. Si prodigano tutti. Si sacrificano, tra tenacia e spossatezza.

Sono giorni di pioggia a Vigàta, quegli acquazzoni violenti e persistenti che non danno requie, fiumane d'acqua scatenata che travolgono case e terreni lasciando dietro di sé un mare di fango.

Aveva cercato scampo in una specie di galleria formata da grossi tubi per la costruzione di condotte d'acqua.

Non abbagli la luce matta che, sugli schermi delle pagine, proietta comiche a rapidi scatti: una schermaglia rodomontesca con due mosche fastidiose; una rissa con attori che sbaccanano e come palla si involvono e rotolano, con braccia e gambe che si agitano, tra pugni e morsi, e lampi di lama; un commissario con un occhio pesto e un orecchio mordicato, che per "scangio" viene arrestato dai carabinieri; una servente che prende a padellate e fa prigioniero un intruso, che l'ha distolta dalle occupazioni culinarie; un signore ben curato e ben vestito, che più volte va a un appuntamento: a vuoto s

"Il commissario Montalbano crede di muoversi dentro una storia. Si accorge di essere finito in una storia diversa. E si ritrova alla fine in un altro romanzo, ingegnosamente apparentato con le storie dentro le quali si è trovato prima a peregrinare. È un gioco di specchi che si rifrange sulla trama di un giallo, improbabile in apparenza e invece esatto: poco incline ad accomodarsi nella gabbia del genere, dati i diversi e collaborativi gradi di responsabilità, di chi muore e di chi uccide, in una situazione imponderabile e squisitamente ironica.
