In his many years as a commissario, Guido Brunetti has seen all manner of crime and known intuitively how to navigate the various pathways in his native city, Venice, to discover the person responsible. In this novel in Silver Dagger Award-winning series, he faces a heinous crime committed outside his jurisdiction. He is drawn in innocently enough: two young American women have been badly injured in a boating accident, joyriding in the Laguna with two young Italians. But Brunettiâs curiosity is aroused by the menâs behavior. Why did they run off after bringing the victims to the hospital if the injuries were accidental?
As Brunetti and his colleague, Claudia Griffoni, investigate, they discover that one of the young men works for someone rumored to be involved in more sinister nighttime activities in the Laguna. To get to the bottom of what proves to be a gut-wrenching case, Brunetti needs to enlist the help of both the Carabinieri and the Guardia di Costiera. Determining how much trust he and Griffoni can put in these unfamiliar colleagues adds to the difficulty of solving a peculiarly horrible crimeâwhose perpetrators are technologically brilliant and ruthlessly organized . . .
âHighly atmospheric . . . Brunetti continues to delight.â âLibrary Journal
â[An] endlessly enjoyable series.â âThe New York Times Book Review
