The Terracotta Dog : Inspector Montalbano 2 Author: Andrea Camilleri

ISBN: 9780330492911 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 342 Published: 1 August 2004 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 19.7 x 13.1 x 2.2 Description: The second Inspector Montalbano mystery.

The Terracotta Dog opens with a mysterious tete-a-tete with a mafioso, some inexplicably abandoned loot from a supermarket heist, and some dying words that lead Inspector Montalbano to a secret grotto in a mountain cave where two young lovers, dead fifty years and still embracing, are watched over by a life-size terracotta dog.

Montalbano's passion to solve this old crime takes him, heedless of personal danger, on a journey through the island's past and into a family's dark heart amid the horrors of World War II. With sly wit and a keen understanding of human nature, Montalbano is a detective whose earthiness, compassion and intelligence make him totally irresistible.
