'Donna Leon provides another delectable slice of the thoughtful
policeman's life at work and at home... So Shall You Reap is as
witty and wise as anything Leon has written. To read her is to
restore the soul.' Mark Sanderson, The Times 'Like all of Leon's
novels, it ultimately feels like a glorious invigorating holiday.'
Daily Express --- On a cold November evening, Guido Brunetti and
Paola are up late when a call from his colleague Ispettore Vianello
arrives, alerting the Commissario that a hand has been seen in one
of Venice's canals. The body is soon found, and Brunetti is
assigned to investigate the murder of an undocumented Sri Lankan
immigrant. Because no official record of the man's presence in
Venice exists, Brunetti is forced to use the city's far richer
sources of information: gossip and the memories of people who knew
the victim. Curiously, he had been living in a garden house on the
grounds of a palazzo owned by a university professor, in which
Brunetti discovers books revealing the victim's interest in
Buddhism, the revolutionary Tamil Tigers, and the last crop of
Italian political terrorists, active in the 1980s. As the
investigation expands, Brunetti, Vianello, Commissario Griffoni,
and Signorina Elettra each assemble pieces of a puzzle-random
information about real estate and land use, books, university
friendships-that appear to have little in common. Until Brunetti
stumbles over something that transports him back to his own student
days, causing him to reflect on lost ideals and the errors of
youth, on Italian politics and history, and on the accidents that
sometimes lead to revelation.
