Learn moreCommissario Guido Brunetti's hopes for a refreshing family holiday in the mountains are once again dashed when a gruesome discovery is made in Marghera—a body so badly beaten the face is completely unrecognizable. Brunetti searches Venice for someone who can identify the corpse but is met with a wall of silence. He then receives a telephone call from a contact who promises some tantalizing information. And before night is out, Brunetti is confronting yet another appalling, and apparently senseless, death.

Reviews
“The sophisticated yet still moral Brunetti…proves a worthy custodian of timeless values and verities.”
“Brunetti...the most humane sleuth since Georges Simenon’s Inspector Maigret...is a decent man [who achieves] a quiet heroism.”
“Richly evocative…intriguing…Venice takes on a deep noir tint in Leon's latest well-crafted work.”
“This thoroughly enjoyable procedural will win more fans for the poised, polite, and coolheaded Brunetti.”
“Brunetti stars in a case that brings out his canniness and his compassion—and shows his creator spreading her wings more powerfully than ever.”
