Feeling his age, as his birthday rolls round once again, Inspector Montalbano decides to cheer himself up by dealing with a young drivers road rage in his own unique way.

But his joy is short-lived, as at police headquarters he receives an angry phone call from a supermarket boss: theres been a robbery at his store and Montalbanos colleague is treating him as a suspect. On arrival at the scene, Montalbano quickly agrees with Inspector Augello that this was no ordinary break-in, but with the supermarkets infamous links to the Sicilian Mafia creating problems at every turn, this isnt going to be an easy case for the inspector to solve.
