The Terra-cotta Dog opens with the inspector's mysterious tête-à-tête with a mafioso, some inexplicably abandoned loot from a supermarket heist, and dying words that lead him to an illegal arms cache in a mountain cave. There, in a secret grotto, he finds a harrowing scene: two young lovers, dead fifty years and still embracing, 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 bombardment.

From sly comedy at the expense of his fellow policemen to personal soul searching that helps him enter the minds of those he must investigate, Montalbano is a detective whose earthiness and imagination coalesce into a unique, unfailing appeal.]]> 1996 5 0 false Thu Nov 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 23:22:37 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 21:29:43 -0800 2009 more...]]> 11399655 49422 838889 0142002631 9780142002636 8 <![CDATA[The Terra-Cotta Dog: An Inspector Montalbano Mystery]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178807953m/838889.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178807953s/838889.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/838889.The_Terra_Cotta_Dog_An_Inspector_Montalbano_Mystery 3.82 28 1996 2 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 01 14:59:42 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 19:11:38 -0800 2008 more...]]> 12775215 796150 69343 0142004723 9780142004722 22 <![CDATA[The Terra-Cotta Dog (Inspector Montalbano Mysteries)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170705310m/69343.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170705310s/69343.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/69343.The_Terra_Cotta_Dog 3.78 325 1996 2 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 13:18:59 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 13:19:18 -0800 2008 more...]]> 45188741 851595 69343 0142004723 9780142004722 22 <![CDATA[The Terra-Cotta Dog (Inspector Montalbano Mysteries)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170705310m/69343.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170705310s/69343.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/69343.The_Terra_Cotta_Dog 3.78 325 1996 4 0 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 16:18:35 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 16:22:21 -0800 2009 more...]]> 59757185 422087 1133388 0670031380 9780670031382 1 <![CDATA[Terra Cotta Dog]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181255304m/1133388.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181255304s/1133388.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1133388.Terra_Cotta_Dog 3.00 1

Ganz eindeutig ein Liebespaar, das allerdings viele Rätsel aufgibt und ins Sizilien der 40er Jahre führt, Kriegsende, Nachkriegszeit. Und hier, auf dem die kriminalistischen, Spuren sichernden Weg in die Vergangenheit, wird die Spannung zum Virus und steckt von Seite zu Seite mehr an.

Andrea Camilleri, Bestseller-Autor aus Sizilien, entfaltet sein Erzähltalent nur zögernd, aber was stellenweise ein wenig spröde beginnt, nimmt dann um so schneller und intensiver gefangen: die rekonstruierte Geschichte zweier Menschen, eingebettet in eine überzeugende, atmosphärisch dichte Schilderung von Raum und Zeit.

Der Commissario und sein Autor, oder ist es vielleicht umgekehrt? Einerlei: Sizilien, die gute Küche und vertrackte Fälle lieben beide. Ein Team mit schlitzohriger Spitzfindigkeit und mediterranem Charme, das die Zutaten für spannende Unterhaltung genausogut kennt wie die Menüfolge eines guten sizilianischen Essens. --Barbara Wegmann
