There is little violent crime in Venice, a serenely beautiful
floating city of mystery and magic, history and decay. But the evil
that does occasionally rear its head is the jurisdiction of Guido
Brunetti, the suave, urbane vice-commissario of police and a genius
at detection. Now all of his admirable abilities must come into
play in the deadly affair of Maestro Helmut Wellauer, a
world-renowned conductor who died painfully from cyanide poisoning
during an intermission at La Fenice.
But as the investigation unfolds, a chilling picture slowly
begins to take shape--a detailed portrait of revenge painted with
vivid strokes of hatred and shocking depravity. And the dilemma for
Guido Brunetti will not be finding a murder suspect, but rather
narrowing the choices down to one. . . .
