Description
When a new landowner is urgently summoned to his estate near Venice after workers uncover a badly decomposed grave, Commissario Brunetti is drawn into a mystery that reaches far beyond the present. A ring recovered at the scene reopens an infamous kidnapping tied to one of the city’s most aristocratic families, forcing Brunetti to navigate secrets, grief, and the carefully preserved façades of patrician life. As he follows a trail of finely observed clues through Venice’s cultural and social undercurrents, the investigation becomes as much about memory and moral responsibility as it is about solving a crime. Donna Leon’s signature blend of intellectual suspense and richly textured Venetian atmosphere turns this case into a compelling portrait of a city—and a family—still haunted by what was taken.
