When Tullio Gasparini, the woman's husband, is found unconscious and with a serious brain injury at the foot of a Venice bridge at midnight, Brunetti is drawn to pursue a possible connection to the boy's behavior. But the truth, as Brunetti has experienced so often, is rarely straightforward. An examination of Gasparini's home office reveals a number of strange coupons in his elderly aunt's name from a local drugstore, which over time reveal a long-running scam. As the 27th novel unfolds in Donna Leon's exquisite chronicle of Venetian life in all its blissful and sordid aspects, Brunetti is ever more impressed by the intuition of his fellow Commissario Claudia Griffoni, and by the endless resourcefulness and craftiness of Signorina Elettra, Patta's secretary and gate-keeper, and reminded of the ever-lasting virtues of his own family. His intellectual pursuits lead him to read Sophocles' play Antigone, so revealing of the unintended consequences that can erupt from bad decisions-and tempt him to consider at least personal forgiveness for a crime from the heart gone bad. 650 0 $a Brunetti, Guido (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Police $z Venice $z Venice $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Mystery & Detective / International Mystery & Crime. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Venice (Italy) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Colacci, David, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Recorded Books, Inc., $e production company. 800 1 $a Leon, Donna. $t Commissario Brunetti Mysteries ; $v [bk. 27] 941 $a 6 945 $a cda 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104014935.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220322010125.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204092023.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110073940.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107021232.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180403015246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C7D7C4DA370411E887D7D95B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
