Title : The Woman in the Flesh Mask - An Investigation by Inspector Brunetti - Donna Leon - book
Summary :
One evening, as snow falls on the Serenissima, a blonde woman perched on high heels and wrapped in a fur coat crosses paths with our dear Commissioner Guido Brunetti. Her name is Franca Marinello, she has a disfigured face, quotes Cicero and Virgil by heart, and she is the wife of a dubious Venetian businessman.
Fascinated, Brunetti arranges to investigate the husband while pursuing another case he thinks is over. But the murder of a truck driver draws him into the heart of a Mafia-organized waste trafficking ring. Behind this trafficking and the dishonest money it generates, the health of thousands of people is put at risk.
Soon, feuds between rival Italian police forces arose, assassinations multiplied, and familiar faces resurfaced. All of Venice seemed to be involved in these criminal enterprises. And so did Brunetti's family.
“Beyond the detective story… the reunion with beloved characters… what makes Donna Leon's books special and what makes Venice so lively is Brunetti's unique perspective.”
