Description

In the chill of a Venetian dawn, a shocking act of vandalism breaks the city’s fragile calm—and Commissario Guido Brunetti is pulled into a case that quickly reveals how far greed and corruption can reach. As the investigation unfolds, the story turns to the private pressures that strain families and relationships, exposing the bargains people make when love, loyalty, and reputation are tested. With each new clue, Brunetti must navigate a web of competing interests and moral compromises, where “remedies” offered by others may prove deadly. Blending Donna Leon’s sharp, humane observational style with a suspenseful, character-driven approach, this novel explores the costs of wrongdoing and the quiet ways communities cope when trust begins to fail.
