In the twenty-seventh novel in Donna Leon's bestselling
mystery series, a suspicious accident leads Commissario Guido
Brunetti to uncover a longstanding scam with disturbing
unintended consequences. The memorable characters and Venetian
drama that have long captivated Donna Leon’s many readers are on
full display in The Temptation of Forgiveness. Surprised, if not
dismayed, to discover from his superior, Vice-Questore Patta,
that leaks are emanating from the Questura, Commissario Guido
Brunetti is surprised more consequentially by the appearance of
a friend of his wife’s, fearful that her son is using drugs and
hopeful Brunetti can somehow intervene. When Tullio Gasparini,
the woman\’s husband, is found unconscious and with a serious
brain injury at the foot of a bridge in Venice after midnight,
Brunetti is drawn to pursue a possible connection to the boy’s
behavior. But the truth, as Brunetti has experienced so often,
is not straightforward.
Characters: 38. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Mystery.
