Description
The gifted Venetian detective returns in his 31st case — this time, investigating the Janus-faced nature of yet another Italian institution. Brunetti will once again face the blurred line that runs between the criminal and the non-criminal, bending police rules and his own character to help an acquaintance in danger.
