Summary
The Wings of the Sphinx is the 11th audiobook in the wickedly funny Inspector Montalbano series by Italian author Andrea Camilleri.
Things are not going well for Inspector Montalbano. His long-distance relationship with Livia is on the rocks, he feels himself getting even older and he's growing tired of the violence in his job.
Then the dead body of a young woman is found in an illegal dump, with half her face missing. Her identity at first is unknown; a tattoo of a sphinx moth on her left shoulder links her with three other girls bearing the same mark, all recent Russian immigrants to Italy. Victims of an underworld sex trade, these girls have been rescued from the Mafia nightclub circuit by a Catholic charity organization. The problem is, the other girls can't help Montalbano with his enquiries. They are all missing.
As his investigations progresses, it seems that not everyone wants Montalbano to discover what really lies behind the organization's charitable façade. And not only does Montalbano have a case to solve, he has a demanding stomach to feed, and he must save his foundering relationship with Livia....
The Wings of the Sphinx is followed by the 12th gripping mystery, The Track of Sand.

murder, dark humour and inner struggle
I'm reading the series in order. This book had all the usual ingredients, murder, Italian politics, inner struggles for the ageing inspector and strained relationship with the long- suffering Livia. I've got to admit, I had to rewind on the conclusion of this one because I found it a little confusing but it was still a great listen

Excellent...as almost always
I am listening to these books one after the other in the order they were written. I really enjoyed this one. I found it one of the best. The narration, as always, is faultless.
