The wings of the sphinx
Camilleri, Andrea
The wings of the sphinx / Andrea Camilleri - New York : Penguin Books , 2009, c2006 - 231 p. ; 20 cm - An Inspector Montalbano Mystery .
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.
