With his hometown of Venice, Italy, beset by hordes of tourists and baking under a glaring sun, Commissario Guido Brunetti’s greatest wish is to go to the mountains with his family, where he can sleep under a down comforter and catch up on his reading. But just when it looks like Brunetti will be able to get away, a shocking, violent crime forces him to stay in the simmering city, in this “masterful” mystery (Publishers Weekly, starred review). |
