'A splendid series . . . with a backdrop of the city so vivid you
can almost smell it.' The Sunday Telegraph Winner of the Suntory
Mystery Fiction Grand Prize The twisted maze of Venice's canals has
always been shrouded in mystery. Even the celebrated opera house,
La Fenice, has seen its share of death ... but none so horrific and
violent as that of world-famous conductor, Maestro Helmut Wellauer,
who was poisoned during a performance of La Traviata. Even
Commissario of Police, Guido Brunetti, used to the labyrinthine
corruptions of the city, is shocked at the number of enemies
Wellauer has made on his way to the top - but just how many have
motive enough for murder? The beauty of Venice is crumbling. But
evil is one thing that will never erode with age. 'What a ripping
first mystery, as beguiling and secretly sinister as Venice
herself. Sparkling and irresistible.' Rita Mae Brown 'Donna Leon
has given fans of subtle, clever and literate mysteries something
to cheer about. . . . A wonderful read.' Tony Hillerman
