Third in the Salvo Montalbano Italian police procedural series. Once again Salvo manages to be offensive to almost everyone while investigating the murder of an elderly man in an elevator. When he learns it is at least peripherally related to an international case in which a man was shot on a fishing boat, he's like a pit bull that won't let go as he manipulates the stupid secret service and his superiors into dropping the answers he needs into his lap. Also with some serious personal conflicts and things to go through, Salvo spends time soul searching and consuming various gustatory delights along the way as well. Enjoyable as always--don't know how such an ornery cuss manages to be so likable, but like him I do!
