Description
Late one night, Commissario Guido Brunetti is pulled away from dinner to investigate the death of a widow found in her modest apartment—an inquiry that quickly reveals how private grief can intersect with public rot. As Venice’s rhythms continue in the background, the case draws in new faces, including the young Signora Giusti, whose return from holiday brings fresh tensions and unanswered questions. With the city’s political and administrative corruption looming behind everyday routines, Brunetti must sift through appearances, motives, and institutional evasions to reach the truth. Blending sharp social observation with Donna Leon’s signature, character-driven storytelling, this installment explores justice, moral responsibility, and the unsettling ways power can distort both facts and lives.
