Commissario Brunetti #32 Read Kindle PreviewIn the thirty-second installment of Donna Leonβs bestselling series, a connection to Guido Brunettiβs own youthful past helps solve a mysterious murder On a cold November evening, Guido Brunetti and Paola are up late when a call from his colleague Ispettore Vianello arrives, alerting the Commissario that a hand has been seen in one of Veniceβs canals. The body is soon found, and Brunetti is assigned to investigate the murder of an undocumented Sri Lankan immigrant. Because no official record of the manβs presence in Venice exists, Brunetti is forced to use the cityβs far richer sources of information: gossip and the memories of people who knew the victim. Curiously, he had been living in a small house on the grounds of aΒ palazzoΒ owned by a university professor, in which Brunetti discovers books revealing the victimβs interest in Buddhism, the revolutionary Tamil Tigers, and the last crop of Italian political terrorists, active in the 1980s. As the investigation expands, Brunetti, Vianello, Commissario Griffoni, and Signora Elettra each assemble pieces of a puzzleβrandom information about real estate and land use, books, university friendshipsβthat appear to have little in common, until Brunetti stumbles over something that transports him back to his own student days, causing him to reflect on lost ideals and the errors of youth, on Italian politics and history, and on the accidents that sometimes lead to revelation.
