Donna Leon's wryly lyrical suspense novels set in Venice have established her as one of the preeminent practitioners of what might be called the exotic procedural. Leon is at the apex of her award-winning form in Death and Judgment, in which suavely determined police commissario Guido Brunetti must descend into Venice's underworld to crack a deadly vice ring run by the cream of the city's society. On his way to work one morning, Brunetti is accosted by headlines screaming from a newsstand. One paper screams loudest: "The Train of Death." A powerful attorney has been found shot to death on a train from Padua to Venice, but, for all the sensational headlines, only Brunetti suspects more than a robbery gone awry. A few days into his investigation, his suspicions solidify when the corpse of a high-powered accountant turns up - an apparent suicide - and Brunetti struggles to find a connection between the two deaths.
Someone is killing Italy's prominent businessmen, and, at first glance, the murders appear unrelated. However, Venice's most charming and tenacious detective, Vice-Commissario Guido Brunetti, suspects a fatal link. After mounting an unorthodox investigation, Brunetti uncovers a disturbing international web of exploitation run by Venice's most influential citizens.
