Description
In the 25th installment of Donna Leon’s acclaimed Venetian series, Commissario Guido Brunetti is pulled into a mystery that may be more tragedy than crime. At a charity fundraising dinner, a wealthy patroness asks him to investigate a story tied to her family—one that reaches back fifteen years and still casts a long shadow over the present. As Brunetti navigates Venice’s living tensions, from preservation and housing to the realities of new migration, he uncovers a haunting account of a woman caught in a damaged, perpetual childhood. With Leon’s signature blend of crisp procedural detail and humane social observation, this novel explores memory, responsibility, and the ways communities—and families—choose what to protect, what to hide, and what to face.
