Title : When a Son Is Given to Us - Donna Leon - book

Summary :

Inspector Brunetti doesn't like to mix work and family, so when his father-in-law, Count Falier, asks him for a favor, he's very worried. One of his best friends, Gonzalo Rodríguez de Tejeda, intends to adopt his young lover, in order to leave him his immense fortune when the time comes. Suspicious, the count urges his unmotivated son-in-law to investigate the young man.
That's when Gonzalo collapses dead in the street. Shortly after, one of his friends, who had just arrived in Venice to pay his respects, is found strangled in her hotel room. Now forced to take matters into his own hands, Brunetti slowly but surely unravels the threads of Gonzalo's mysterious life, uncovering family secrets that threaten to cause more harm than good.

A fantastic new investigation by Inspector Brunetti that plunges us into the ruthless world of the wealthiest Venetians.
