Pasquano thinks they have been dead at least 50 years and not killed there.

On a subsequent visit to the cave, Salvo realises it isn’t symmetrical and in pulling the fake wall down, the team finds two bodies guarded by a terracotta dog. Salvo outlines his theory to the commissioner, that the gun runners used the supermarket to stash the guns following a gun fight, and the two men agree to keep things under wraps. Lillo’s father and grandfather sold stuff on the black market, but it is not known if Lillo survived Allied bombings of 1943 when his house was flattened.įorensics find some paper in the cave that seems to link the guns to the supermarket robbery. Salvo’s old headmaster comes to visit, giving him some history of the cave, including the name Lillo Rizzitano. The manager comes in to report the theft, which appears to make no sense – why abandon the truck nearby with the stock still in it?īased on what Tano has told him, Salvo and the team go looking for a cave up in the mountains, finally finding it and it’s full of weapons and police uniforms. Meanwhile a Vigata supermarket gets raided and the following morning, a truck, still full of stock is found abandoned outside of town. Tano dies but not before he talks to Montalbano, who passes on what was said to the commissioner. Salvo stages an arrest at gun point to bring in Tano the Greek – an old man from the old style Mafia. On being transferred to another prison, Tano gets ambushed….there’s a mole in the police. Book two and Episode 4 of the Commisario Montalbano series, this starts out as an investigation into a Mafia influenced robbery and arms-cache but decends into the investigation of a cold case.
