Andrea Camilleri's crime stories depict corruption, politics and power in Italy. Mark Lawson goes to Rome to investigate.

Andrea Camilleri discusses the influence of both the Spanish writer Montalbán and Belgian author Georges Simenon on the creation of his Sicilian detective Inspector Montalbano.
