Commissario Guido Brunetti returns with a gripping and powerful case
about the murkiness of power and a test of loyalties
When two teenage gangs are arrested after clashing violently in one of
Venice’s campi, the son of a local hero is implicated. But when
Commissario Guido Brunetti is asked by a wealthy foreigner to vet this
man, Monforte, for a job, he discovers that Monforte might not be such
a hero after all.
This seeming contradiction, and a brutal attack on one of Brunetti’s
colleagues by a possible gang member, concentrate Brunetti’s
attentions. Soon, he discovers the sordid hypocrisy surrounding
Monforte’s past, culminating in a fiery meeting of two gangs and a
final opportunity for redemption.
A Refiner’s Fire is Donna Leon at her very best: an elegant,
sophisticated storyteller whose indelible characters become richer with
each book, and who constantly interrogates the ambiguity between moral
and legal justice.
