The first three books in the Inspector Montalbano series, by Andrea Camilleri, are available as a collection:
The Montalbano Mysteries: Three Crime Novels of Sicily.
The blurb is not very helpful:
Quote:
Synopsis
The first three irresistible instalments in the Inspector Montalbano series from the bestselling Sicilian author.

However, by peering closely at the cover image, I think I can see that the cover, at least, indicates that this does contain the first three books in the series:
The Shape of Water
The Terra-Cotta Dog
The Snack Thief
I have read most of the books in this series, and have liked them all. They are police procedurals with a tinge of cynicism or world-weariness, which feels a bit like the cynicism in Donna Leon's Brunetti series.
