There is little violent crime in Venice, a serenely beautiful floating city of mystery and magic, history and decay But the evil that does occasionally rear its head is the jurisdiction of Guido Brunetti, the suave, urbane vice-commissario of police and a genius at detection Now all of his admirable abilities must come into play in the deadly affair овхой of Maestro Helmut Wellauer, a world-renowned conductor who died painfully from cyanide poisoning during an intermission at La Fenice But as the investigation unfolds, a chilling picture slowly begins to take shape -- a detailed portrait of revenge painted with vivid strokes of hatred and shocking depravity And the dilemma for Guido Brunetti will not be finding a murder suspect, but rather narrowing the choices down to one.  От издателя2004 г Мягкая обложка, 288 стр ISBN 006074068X.
