American author Donna Leon presents the eighteenth installment of her acclaimed Brunetti series. Here, Venetian sleuth Commissario Brunetti continues his investigation of the Italian Mafia in emphatic fashion. But when Carabinieri Maggiore Filipo Guarino of the Marghera police department is murdered, Brunetti's investigation takes an unexpected turn and leads him to a suspicious trucking company and a charming businessman's wife.

Reviews
"With her eighteenth stellar entry in the Commissario Guido Brunetti series, Leon continues to live up to the increasingly high standards set by each novel."
Library Journal
"Brunetti tackles environmental malfeasance as he does all the other kinds of rampant governmental corruption he encounters, recognizing that full-frontal assaults are never won by individuals against institutions. Instead, he chips away at the edges of the monolith, carving shreds of hope from seeming hopelessness. No wonder we find him such a comforting presence."
Booklist
"Despite the strong projection of his voice, Colacci can still shift his tone with his vocal characters to convey two people talking in confidence. His interpretation of Leon's book proves an excellent example of how a narrator can improve the actual story."
