- Summary:
- Donna Leon has topped European bestseller lists from more than a decade with a series of mysteries featuring clever Commissario Guido Brunetti. Always, ready to bend the rules to uncover the threads of a crime Brunetti manages to maintain his integrity while maneuvering through a city rife with politics, corruption, and intrigue. 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 first clue that reopens and 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 heart of patrician Venice and that of a family grieving for their abducted son.
