The Wings of the Sphinx Paperback - 2009 - 1st Edition
by Andrea Camilleri; Stephen Sartarelli (Translator)
Food, love, and murder--Sicilian style--feature prominently in the gripping 11th installment of "The New York Times"-bestselling Montalbano mystery series.
Summary
Food, love, and murder-Sicilian style-in the gripping eleventh installment of The New York Times bestselling Montalbano mystery series.
Things are not going well for Inspector Salvo Montalbano. His relationship with Livia is once again on the rocks and-acutely aware of his age-he is beginning to grow weary of the endless violence he encounters. Then a young woman is found dead, her face half shot off and only a tattoo of a sphinx moth giving any hint of her identity. The tattoo links her to three similarly marked girls-all victims of the underworld sex trade-who have been rescued from the Mafia night-club circuit by a prominent Catholic charity. The problem is, Montalbano's inquiries elicit an outcry from the Church and the three other girls are all missing.
