Death at Sea: Montalbano's Early Cases by Andrea Camilleri is apparently pretty much what it says it is - a recent (2018) compilation of short stories from early in Inspector Montalbano's career. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I'm quite fond of this series, although titles are usually pricey and don't go on sale very often in the US (but do go on sale a bit more often in the UK).

“You either love Andrea Camilleri or you haven’t read him yet. Each novel in this wholly addictive, entirely magical series, set in Sicily and starring a detective unlike any other in crime fiction, blasts the brain like a shot of pure oxygen... transporting. Long live Camilleri, and long live Montalbano.”
—A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
