    Děj detektivní novely Tvar vody je umístěn do fiktivního sicilského města Vigàta. Nemusíme se však bát, že se jedná o mafiánskou historku na způsob Chobotnice, kdy je kromě tématu vyčerpaná snad i jeho parodie. Na bývalém pastvišti za městem, kam se jezdí za prostitutkami nebo drogami, je nalezen v autě mrtvý muž, ve stavu, který neomylně ukazuje na předchozí využití prvně jmenovaného povyražení. Oním mrtvým je významný místní činitel inženýr Luparello, což dává případu mimořádně delikátní rozměr. Vyšetřování se ujímá komisař Montalbano, “správný chlap”, kladný hrdina až do morku kostí, nesnášející byrokratické průtahy, zastánce “nestandardních metod” vyšetřování, vybavený nadpozemskou intuicí, konexemi v podsvětí, smyslem pro humor a v neposlední řadě i charismatem okouzlujícím něžné pohlaví. Jak se dalo očekávat, v průběhu pátrání se odkrývá špinavé podhoubí společenského života místní buržoazie, tutlané rodinné a politické skandály a vůbec zvrhlosti všeho druhu.

    Komisař gentleman Salvo Montalbano se propůjčí k účelové komedii: spektakulárně zatkne jednoho ze starých mafiánských kmotrů, který ho sám požádal o tento svérázný druh ochrany před mladší konkurencí. Jak tato akce souvisí se zdánlivě nesmyslným vloupáním do místního supermarketu, při němž vznikla nulová škoda, a jaké tajemství kromě pašovaných zbraní skrývá tajná jeskyně ve skalách, v níž hlídá dvojici zavražděných mladých milenců hliněný pes? Další z případů sympatického policejního komisaře ze sicilské Vigaty, jehož známe i z úspěšného televizního zpracování, nás znovu přesvědčí o bravurně zvládnutém umění klasického detektivního příběhu se vším všudy a ještě čímsi navíc, co z knížek Andrey Camilleriho dělá světové bestsellery.

    Trenta crimini da risolvere. Delitti d'amore, d'interesse, di mafia, frutto di ambizione, di esaltazione, di esplosivo furore o di logorante quotidianità. Trenta indagini alla ricerca di una giustizia possibile. Quella giustizia che il commissario Montalbano si sforza di perseguire nel cuore della Sicilia. Un uomo con un'esistenza ordinaria, da funzionario integerrimo, con un'eterna fidanzata lontana, in Liguria, e tre grandi passioni: il mangiare, il bere e la letteratura. Brusco, talvolta scorbutico, ma dotato di un'irresistibile carica di umanità e di ironia, Salvo Montalbano applica la propria intelligenza a uno straordinario campionario di delitti, premeditati e solo simulati. Un mondo feroce e violento, che egli affronta con le armi della logica, ma anche della pietà e dell'umorismo.

    Il commissario Salvo Montalbano incontra l'ispettrice Grazia Negro in un gioco, un esperimento, una collaborazione letteraria senza precedenti: i due "re" del giallo italiano contemporaneo, entrati in contatto durante le riprese del documentario "A quattro mani" (Minimum Fax Media 2007), uniscono le forze e regalano ai lettori una storia che vede protagonisti i loro personaggi di maggior successo. A metterli in contatto è un insolito omicidio in cui la vittima viene ritrovata con un pesciolino in bocca: il caso è nelle mani di Grazia Negro, che, resasi conto di non trovarsi di fronte a un delitto di ordinaria amministrazione, chiede aiuto al collega siciliano. Un romanzo dalla struttura insolita e non convenzionale: un collage di lettere, biglietti, ritagli di giornale, rapporti e verbali, "pizzini" che fanno rocambolescamente la spola fra i due detective,stimolando e accompagnando il lettore nella ricostruzione dell'indagine, che si conclude con un finale mozzafiato. Una jam session fra due narratori geniali che si divertono a far interagire il loro immaginario e il loro stile, una lettura unica per gli amanti del poliziesco e del noir. Gli autori hanno scelto di devolvere i proventi derivati dai diritti d'autore per sostenere progetti di beneficenza.

    Tre racconti brevi e tre lunghi, quasi tre romanzi, compongono questo libro, ennesima testimonianza del talento di Andrea Camilleri nel costruire e narrare intrecci. Ma soprattutto ennesima prova della straordinaria simpatia e umanità del suo eroe, il commissario Montalbano. Un personaggio capace di evolvere e crescere, avventura dopo avventura. Di diventare più saggio o più ribelle, più duro o più sensibile al dolore del mondo. Perché Montalbano è sì un poliziotto incorruttibile, ma prima di tutto è un uomo. Istintivo, non sempre ragionevole, capace di rimanere di «umore nivuro» un'intera giornata se c'è brutto tempo, o di sciogliersi in una «concentrazione da bramino indù» davanti a un piatto di triglie fritte. Un uomo su cui i fatti della vita non scivolano via. E che sa anche avere paura. Insomma, un uomo «normale». E proprio per questo così amato.
