About this ebook

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.

Venice, Italy, murder, murder-investigation, political-corruption, family-dynamics, friendship, trafficking***** This time Brunetti not only has to work on murders but also fraud, trafficking, his own family, and overweening superiors. A disturbing tale with a similar attitude to Commissario Montalbano of Sicily. Narrator David Colacci has the trick of using American standard Italian and Sicilian accents to differentiate the multiple male characters down to a science. Bravissimo!
