DEATH IN A STRANGE COUNTRY

Early one morning Guido Brunetti, commissario of the Venetian police, confronts a grisly sight when the body of a young man is fished out of the fetid Venetian canal. All the clues point to a violent mugging, but for Brunetti robbery seems altogether too convenient a motive. Then something very incriminating is discovered in the dead man’s flat, something which points to the existence of a high level cabal – and Brunetti becomes convinced that somebody, somewhere, is taking great pains to provide a ready-made solution to the crime ... In the second of Donna Leon’s award-winning Commissario Brunetti novels, Brunetti is as fallibly human – and Venice as mysteriously beautiful – as Donna Leon’s many loyal readers have come to expect.
