Terracotta Dog

The Terra-Cotta 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 mountainous cave where two young lovers, dead fifty years and still embracing, are watched over by a life-size terra cotta 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.

Cainele Terra-Cotta se deschide cu un misterios tete-a-tete cu un mafios, o prada inexplicabil abandonata dintr-un jaf de supermarket si cateva cuvinte pe moarte care il conduc pe inspectorul Montalbano intr-o grota secreta intr-o pestera muntoasa unde doi tineri iubiti, morti de cincizeci de ani ani si inca imbratisati, sunt supravegheati de un caine de teracota in marime naturala.
