‘Brunetti . . . long ago joined the ranks of the classic fictional detectives’ Evening Standard. When the body of a young man is retrieved from a dirty canal in Venice, all evidence points to the violence of a robbery. However, for Guido Brunetti, the Inspector of Police in Venice, the robbery seems too convenient a motive. Then, something very incriminating is discovered in the dead man's apartment - something that indicates the existence of a high-level conspiracy. But who could go to such great lengths to offer a ready-made solution to the crime? ‘Brunetti’s characters and his family continue to deepen throughout the series’ The Times.
