The police immediately cordon off the inn and start a careful reconstitution of the evening of the crime. The suspects are three buyers who had come to attend the sale by auction of a curiously coveted house, and the staff of the inn. Plus a customs officer who works every evening nearby.

For two nights and a day, Maigret builds up tension between the suspects, managing to unmask the three buyers who are in league against a fourth richer buyer who was threatening to do them out of the house which is believed to contain a treasure. Crime doesn’t pay, and the “treasure” finally thumbs its nose at the murderers. Directed by Pierre Granier Deferre, 1995, color. In French with English subtitles.

MONTALBANO 9 PM ET

Murder, betrayal, office politics, temptation... it's all in a day's work for Detective Salvo Montalbano. With intuition and a cadre of police officers, Montalbano solves crimes in the fictional small city of Vigata. This work brings him across the paths of unforgettable characters who could only come from Sicily. He also wages a personal war with his own demons, which fight against his professional ideals and personal commitment to beautiful long-distance girlfriend, Livia. Yet there's always time to indulge a long-standing flirtation with his ultimate temptress, Italian cuisine. The series is filmed in the ancient, sun-washed Sicilian city of Ragusa, and is based on the international best-selling mystery novels by Andrea Camilleri.

3/1 Detective Montalbano: The Snack Thief (TVPG) (Unedited Rating: TBD) Original Title: Ladro di Merendine An elderly import-export merchant is found dead; a young Tunisian woman who may have been mixed up with him disappears the same day— and who’s been stealing those schoolkids’ lunches?

Saturdays

DONNA LEON: THE COMMISSARIO BRUNETTI MYSTERIES Saturdays at 9PM and 12Midnight ET

Murder, Venice, relationships...it's a delicious concoction in the hands of crime novelist Donna Leon. Venice provides the backdrop for the lush film versions of the bestselling novels, which features the indelible Commissario Guido Brunetti, canal boat rides instead of car chases, fine cuisine and crime investigations in one of Europe's most beautiful locations. Joachim Król plays Guido Brunetti, a police inspector with a keen mind, razor-sharp wit, and a touch of melancholy. He strives to bring criminals to justice, but experience has taught him that countless things work against that - human frailty, corruption, and incompetence in the force being chief among them. He takes refuge from the job in the company of his loving wife Paola, a university literature professor, and two teenage children, Raffi and Chiara. Series Rating: TVPG

3/2 Suffer the Little Children Original Title: Lasset die Kinder zu mir Kommen Like many illegal aliens in Italy, Rozafa Krasnic lives in permanent fear of being caught and sent back to her native Albania. After the birth of her child, she is told that the baby has died and that she should ask no further questions. Fourteen months later, Rozafa is found dead, apparently murdered. One of the last people she contacted was the wealthy pediatrician Dr. Pedrolli. He and his wife Bianca adopted Rozafa's child through an agency, allegedly unaware of the child's origins. For Commissario Brunetti's colleague Marvilli, the case is clear: Rozafa wanted her child back, and Pedrolli killed her. Acting upon his conviction, Marvilli breaks into the doctor's home one night with two police colleagues and brutally beats him up. Repelled by Marvilli's brutality, Brunetti pursues his own investigations and comes across a trail of contradictory clues... Directed by Sigi Rothemund, 2010. In German with English subtitles.

3/9 The Girl of His Dreams Original Title: Das Madchen Seiner Traume Two deaths within one week weigh heavily on Commissario Brunetti: that of his dearly beloved mother, and that of a 10-year-old Roma girl found floating in a Venetian canal. Responding to the call of duty, Brunetti pays his last respects to his mother before concentrating fully on the case at hand: did the girl fall into the canal by accident or was she pushed? Perhaps her little brother knows more. But Brunetti’s attempts to speak with the Roma community in their encampment are futile; the Roma are so used to the police pinning felonies on them that they can’t imagine an inspector who actually wants to help them. It appears that the girl had broken into a luxurious palazzo and was caught stealing jewels and other valuables. Could it be that someone in the house grabbed her and threw her into the canal? Several prominent suspects begin to emerge. But more chilling is another discovery that Brunetti makes: the girl and her little brother were being pressured by someone to give him a share of the stolen goods. The identity of this person makes it all too clear to Brunetti why the Roma were so reluctant to talk to him... Directed by Sigi Rothemund, 2010. In German with English subtitles.

3/16 Looks Are Deceiving Original Title: Schoner Schein Commissario Brunetti usually loathes formal dinners with his blue-blood father-in-law, Count Falier. But this time, he meets Franca Cataldo, a fascinating woman whose face seems stuck in place after one too many facelifts. Brunetti is impressed by her literary acumen, however, and is eager to keep debating Dante and Ovid with her, to the distress of his wife Paola. Unfortunately, the Commissario has a murder to look after, however: Trucking entrepreneur Ranzato, who was involved in shady garbage-disposal deals with Franca's husband Maurizio, is found murdered. Brunetti is shocked to discover his father-in-law is somehow involved as well, with all clues pointing to the Mafioso Antonio Barbaro, ostensibly a greengrocer - who's having an affair with Franca Cataldo! Brunetti suspects he's blackmailing her, and proposes she turn state's witness against her lover. But Brunetti doesn't realize he's already in too deep in this fishy case, which is about much more that just a pile of garbage… Directed by Sigi Rothemund, 2012. In German with English subtitles.
