As with many of the other titles in this series, I learned something new by reading it. The unfortunate victim in this one was suffering from Madelung's disease, of which rare condition I had never heard.
Commissario Brunetti ferrets out a connection to his occupation which involved some revolting practices at a meat-processing plant, posing very serious health risks to the public. This story is very unsettling and as is usual with Leon's stories it is thought-provoking and memorable.
