Description
Commissario Guido Brunetti's pursuit of a peaceful family holiday is shattered by a brutal murder in Marghera, leaving a victim so disfigured that identification is impossible. As Brunetti navigates the labyrinthine streets of Venice, he encounters a pervasive wall of silence from those who might hold the key to the victim's identity. A cryptic phone call offers a glimmer of hope, drawing him deeper into a dark conspiracy that culminates in another shocking and seemingly motiveless death. Donna Leon masterfully blends intricate plotting with her signature elegant prose, offering a poignant exploration of Venice's hidden underbelly and the enduring complexities of the human heart.
