'Donna Leon goes from strength to strength ... This is her tenth novel but it's as fresh and entertaining as the first' Observer
When two clam fishermen are murdered on the island of Pellestrina, Commissario Brunetti is called to investigate. He has his work cut out for him - the people of Pellestrina are tight-knit, bound together by a code of loyalty and suspicious of outsiders. To break through, he enlists the help of his boss' secretary Signorina Elettra, who visits the island as an undercover agent. Soon, Brunetti finds himself torn between his duty to solve the murders, concern for Elettra's safety, and his not entirely straightforward feelings for her . . .
'A splendid series . . . with a backdrop so vivid you can smell it' Sunday Telegraph
