About this ebook
For Commissario Brunetti, it began with an early morning phone call. In the chill of the Venetian dawn, a sudden act of vandalism shatters the quiet of the deserted city. But soon Brunetti is shocked to find that the culprit waiting to be apprehended at the scene is someone from his own family.

law-enforcement, murder, murder-investigation, protests, Venice, greed, trafficking***** Have to admit that I don't really comprehend the need for an individual alone to make protest against a social evil as I've always worked in conjunction with others even if I had to gather them. But it makes for a good background to the statement of social evil as well as Brunetti's test of beliefs. And the murder investigation was good, too. Narrator David Colacci has the trick of using American standard Italian and Sicilian accents to differentiate the multiple male characters down to a science.
