Synopsis
Commissario Brunetti delves into the shadows of a Venetian family&’s past in this &“gripping intellectual mystery&” in the New York Times–bestselling series (Publishers Weekly). In A Noble Radiance, a new landowner is summoned urgently to his house not far from Venice when workmen accidentally unearth a macabre grave. The human corpse is badly decomposed, but a ring found nearby proves to be a clue that reopens an infamous case of kidnapping involving one of Venice&’s most aristocratic families. Only Commissario Brunetti can unravel the clues and find his way into both the hearts of patrician Venice and that of a family grieving for their abducted son. &“Goes a long way to confirming Donna Leon&’s claim to have taken literary possession of Venice . . . A Noble Radiance gives the reader a delightful foretaste of the summer holidays to come, but it also offers much more than that.&” —The Independent on Sunday &“The marvel of this book is that almost every detail on every page forms part of a succession of clues, planted with exquisite precision, to unraveling the mystery.&” —The Sunday Times &“Brunetti emerges as an intelligent, somewhat world-weary individual who believes in his cause if not the system itself. In short, he&’s the ideal protagonist for this culturally rich mystery.&” —Publishers Weekly &“In her detective novels with Commissario Brunetti, Donna Leon can paralyze the reader with a joyful suspense, lost in the environs of Venice and hopelessly in love with her central character and his wife.&” —Mail on Sunday
