Paperback. Condition: Good. "A gripping first mystery, as beguiling and secretly sinister as Venice herself. Sparkling and irresistible." -- Rita Mae Brown The first book in the internationally bestselling Guido Brunetti detective series in which a high society murder leads Guido to investigate the darker side of beautiful Venice. There is little violent crime in Venice, a serenely beautiful floating city of mystery and magic, history and decay.

Paperback. Condition: Good. The New York Times-bestselling series continues with the murder of an American soldier in Venice: "This is definitely an author to watch (Kirkus Reviews).
