Synopsis: Venice&’s Commissario Brunetti takes on his &“most difficult and politically sensitive case to date&” in the gripping New York Times–bestselling series (Booklist). In Death and Judgment, a truck crashes and spills its dangerous cargo on a treacherous road in the Italian Dolomite mountains. Meanwhile, in Santa Lucia, a prominent international lawyer is found dead aboard an intercity train. Suspecting a connection between the two tragedies, Brunetti digs deep for an answer, stumbling upon a seedy Venetian bar that holds the key to a crime network that reaches far beyond the laguna. But it will take another violent death in Venice before Brunetti and his colleagues begin to understand what is really going on. &“No one is more graceful and accomplished than Leon.&” —The Washington Post &“The sophisticated but still moral Brunetti, with his love of food and his loving family, proves a worthy custodian of timeless values and verities.&” —The Wall Street Journal &“[Brunetti&’s] humane police work is disarming, and his ambles through the city are a delight.&” —The New York Times Book Review &“The heady atmosphere of Venice and a galaxy of fully realized characters enrich this intriguing and finally horrifying tale.&” —Publishers Weekly &“The first of Leon&’s books to knit together all her strengths: endearing detective, jaundiced social pathology, and a paranoid eye for plotting on a grand scale.&” —Kirkus Reviews
