The 25th instalment in the bestselling Brunetti series. Brunetti investigates a cold case by request of the grand Contessa Lando-Continui, and finds a murky past and a dark story at its heart. Awash in the rhythms and concerns of contemporary Venetian life, from historical preservation, to housing, to new waves of African migrants, and the haunting story of a woman trapped in a damaged perpetual childhood.
