Description
In Venice, a tense street clash between rival teenage gangs erupts at the very moment the city’s police are rotating shifts—setting off a chain of events that pulls Commissario Brunetti and his closest colleague, Commissario Claudia, into a case that feels both urgent and strangely elusive. As they follow leads through the Piazzetta del Leoncini and the uneasy undercurrents of youth culture, their investigation exposes how quickly curiosity can become complicity when power, fear, and loyalty collide. With Donna Leon’s signature blend of procedural detail and humane observation, the story probes themes of justice, moral responsibility, and the social forces that shape young lives on the margins. What begins as a thwarted confrontation grows into a broader reckoning with how institutions respond to disorder—and what gets lost when the truth is treated as an inconvenience.
