The Terra-Cotta Dog by Andrea Camilleri

4.0

goes from a kind of Elmore Leonard-isch goof about a fake grocery store robbery involving Mafia gunrunning to a hazier, heavier cold-case mystery about two murdered lovers from 50 years before whose mummified remains are found in the course of the first investigation. Riffing on the seven sleepers of Ephesus/collated lore to say a few things about memory/war/trauma, through the guise of a hungry, non-threateningly horny Inspector Montalbano who has achieved Extremely My Shit status in short order
