Kurzbeschreibung
The second Brunetti novel from award-winning crime writer Donna Leon. There is another mystery for Brunetti to unravel when a body is found in the Venetian canals and a robbery is not quite what it seems.Beschreibung
Der zweite Fall für Commissario Brunetti: Die aufgedunsene Leiche eines kräftigen jungen Mannes schwimmt in einem stinkenden Kanal in Venedig. Und zum Himmel stinken auch die Machenschaften, die sich hinter diesem Tod verbergen: Mafia, amerikanisches Militär und der italienische Machtapparat sind gleichermaßen verwickelt. Gibt es Verbindungen zur Drogenszene? Einen Giftmüllskandal? Eine harte Nuß für Brunetti, der sich aber nicht unterkriegen läßt . . . Early one morning Guido Brunetti, Commissario of the Venice Police, confronts a grisly sight when the body of a young man is fished out of a fetid Venetian canal. All the clues point to a violent mugging, but for Brunetti, robbery seems altogether too convenient a motive. Then something very incriminating is discovered in the dead man's flat - something which points to the existence of a high-level cabal - and Brunetti becomes convinced that somebody, somewhere, is taking great pains to provide a ready-made solution to the crime ...Rezension
