This is a dark story about corruption and greed with an international angle. The story opens with a winter accident in which a truck veers off an icy road, causing the death of several young woman; these women have absolutely no identifying marks on their clothes or any id.
Guido Brunetti and his family act as counterbalance to the corruption swirling around the streets of Italy. This story would be too dark and depressing without hearing the minutiae of normal Italian family life. In conversation between the spouses, Guido agrees that he is trying to keep a crumbling dam operational - but someone must try.
As a reader, I have to admire a man who loves his family, loves his job as a policeman and loves the city he calls home. However, Guido has no illusions about the Italian predators that prey on the weak and vulnerable. They tend to be powerful and wealthy; Guido still feels they must be answerable to the law. In this case, Brunetti is shocked by how far up the food chain these predators are.

Intelligence and mystery!
How refreshing! A writer with both imagination and a brilliant mind! Many current mystery writers quickly reveal their shallowness and lack of historical facts. Donna Leon gives the reader so much more than the story line. She sprinkles little gems of knowledge as her characters are drawn and expanded upon...all of her novels are pure delight!
