Are you looking for a detective story with the word "numismatist" in it?
I just finished reading Death in a Strange Country: A Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery The action occurs on page 25:
'The report isn't back yet, but he had American coins in his pocket, so he's got to be an American."
"Or a numismatist," Brunetti suggested amiably.
There followed a long pause which told Brunetti the Vice-Questore didn't know the meaning of the word."I always enjoy Italian detective stories that mention numismatists -- even if only in passing.
