Give Unto Others

Leon, Donna

£20.00

Once again, Commissario Guido Brunetti is willing to bend police rules for an acquaintance, even though Elisabetta Foscarini, isn’t really a friend. But her mother was good to Brunetti’s, so he feels he has to repay the debt and agrees to look into the matter ‘privately’, rather than as a police official. Her son-in-law has alarmed his wife by telling her they might be in danger because of something he’s involved with. Because Enrico Fenzo is an accountant, Brunetti suspects that the likely reason must be the finances of one of his clients. Brunetti takes a look and finds little: one client is an optician, another Fenzo’s father-in-law, whom he helped establish a charity, another the owner of a restaurant. He is about to tell his friend that he can find no reason when her daughter’s place of work is vandalised, forcing Brunetti to turn his attention to Elisabetta’s own family.

Description

‘Crime writing of the highest order’ GUARDIAN
‘Donna Leon has been giving unto us for all of the thirty years since Death at La Fenice introduced us to Brunetti’ Val McDermid

The gifted Venetian detective returns in his 31st case – this time, investigating the Janus-faced nature of yet another Italian institution. Brunetti will have to once again face the blurred line that runs between the criminal and the non-criminal, bending police rules, and his own character, to help an acquaintance in danger.

‘Both tremendously enjoyable and deeply humane’ JESSIE GREENGRASS, Costa-shortlisted author of The High House
‘Leon’s elegant, witty prose . . . is a joy’ AMANDA CRAIG
