Description
In the glittering, high-stakes world of opera, a celebrated soprano’s rise to stardom draws attention from every corner of Venice—along with the kind of secrets that can’t stay onstage. When Commissioner Guido Brunetti is pulled into a case that intersects with the city’s cultural elite, he must navigate both the glamour of performance and the darker motives behind it. As the investigation unfolds, Brunetti’s personal life—shaped by the contrasting worlds of his wife Paola’s aristocratic family and their everyday reality—adds pressure and perspective to every decision he makes. With Donna Leon’s signature blend of sharp social observation and suspenseful plotting, this novel explores love, ambition, and the moral compromises people make when reputation is on the line.
