In the landmark thirtieth installment of the bestselling series the
New Yorker has called "an unusually potent cocktail of atmosphere
and event," Guido Brunetti is forced to confront an unimaginable
crime In his many years as a commissario, Guido Brunetti has seen
all manner of crime and known intuitively how to navigate the
various pathways in his native city, Venice, to discover the person
responsible. Now, in Transient Desires, the thirtieth novel in
Donna Leon's masterful series, he faces a heinous crime committed
outside his jurisdiction. He is drawn in innocently enough: two
young American women have been badly injured in a boating accident,
joy riding in the Laguna with two young Italians. However,
Brunetti's curiosity is aroused by the behavior of the young men,
who abandoned the victims after taking them to the hospital. If the
injuries were the result of an accident, why did they want to avoid
association with it? As Brunetti and his colleague, Claudia
Griffoni, investigate the incident, they discover that one of the
young men works for a man rumored to be involved in more sinister
nighttime activities in the Laguna. To get to the bottom of what
proves to be a gut-wrenching case, Brunetti needs to enlist the
help of both the Carabinieri and the Guardia di Costiera.
Determining how much trust he and Griffoni can put in these
unfamiliar colleagues adds to the difficulty of solving a
peculiarly horrible crime whose perpetrators are technologically
brilliant and ruthlessly organized. Donna Leon's Transient Desires
is as powerful as any novel she has written, testing Brunetti to
his limits and forcing him to listen very carefully for the truth.
