Someone is killing Itaoy's proominent businessmen--but why? At first glance the murders appear unrelated. However, Venice's most charming and tenacious detective, vice-Commissario
Guido Brunetti, suspects a fatal link. Unraveling the
city's complexities and nuances as no one else can, Brunnetti mounts an unorthodox investigation. What he uncovers is a disturbing international web of exploitation run by Venice's most influential
citizens, and an outsider's insatiable lust for retribution.
I have read other Donna Leon books and they continue to hold up to every promise.

Although I've enjoyed other Commissario Brunetti mysteries, this one was a bit too intense for me. I've been distressed and depressed about man's inhumanity ever since I read it.
This book is even darker than the previous Brunetti books, quite chilling. Brunetti and his wife Paola are fully realized characters, as is the city of Venice.
