BBC Four - The Young Montalbano, Series 1, The First Case

Montalbano investigates an attempted murder by a vulnerable young woman.

Novice detective Salvo Montalbano's first case in Vigata involves investigating an attempted murder by a vulnerable young woman whose motives appear unfathomable.

Young detective Salvo Montalbano is posted to a remote village in the Sicilian mountains, where he struggles to adapt to the somewhat unwelcoming climate, but a promotion and transfer bring him to the more agreeable seaside town of Vigata. Here he finds himself supervising a team of local policemen, including veteran Carmine Fazio and affable but bumbling agent Catarella. Montalbano's first case in Vigata involves investigating an attempted murder at the hands of a vulnerable young woman whose motives appear unfathomable.
