Smell of the Night (Inspector Montalbano Mysteries) Andrea Camilleri Unabridged edition

The sixth mystery in the Inspector Montalbano series, The Smell of the Night brings the shady shenanigans of late twentieth-century international finance to small-town Sicily. A "financial wizard" entrusted with the savings of nearly half the retirees of Vigata mysteriously disappears with the money. In a rather atypical case for Montalbano, the inspector finds himself initially shut out of the investigation by the ever-hostile commissioner Bonetti-Alderighi and forced to work from the shadows.
