The landmark thirtieth instalment of the bestselling Commissario Brunetti series
Donna Leon was named by The Times as one of the 50 Greatest Crime Writers. She is an award-winning crime novelist, celebrated for the bestselling Brunetti series. Donna has lived in Venice for thirty years and previously lived in Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, Iran and China, where she worked as a teacher. Donna's books have been translated into thirty-five languages and have been published around the world. Her previous novels featuring Commissario Brunetti have all been highly acclaimed; including Friends in High Places, which won the CWA Macallan Silver Dagger for Fiction, Fatal Remedies, Doctored Evidence, A Sea of Troubles and Beastly Things.
The climax is nothing less than a trip - across the
laguna - into the heart of darkness ... Leon's special skill
is to splice glimpses of la dolce vita with acute analysis of moral
and ethical dilemmas ... The series that has shadowed
Brunetti for three decades is an epic achievement - in its own
way quite the equal of Anthony Powell's A Dance to the Music of
Time. -- Mark Sanderson * The Times *
It's colourful and beautifully written. * Peterborough
