  • "Het lichaam van een geliefde dierenarts dat wordt opgevist uit een Venetiaans kanaal leidt inspecteur Brunetti naar het plaatselijke slachthuis."
  • "When the body of man is found in a canal, damaged by the tides, carrying no wallet, and wearing only one shoe, Brunetti has little to work with. No local has filed a missing-person report, and no hotel guests have disappeared. Where was the crime scene? And how can Brunetti identify the man when he can't show pictures of his face? The autopsy shows a way forward: it turns out the man was suffering from a rare, disfiguring disease. With Inspector Vianello, Brunetti canvasses shoe stores, and winds up on the mainland in Mestre, outside of his usual sphere. From a shopkeeper, they learn that the man had a kindly way with animals. At the same time, animal rights and meat consumption are quickly becoming preoccupying issues at the Venice Questura, and in Brunetti's home, where conversation at family meals offer a window into the joys and conflicts of Italian life. Perhaps with the help of Signorina Elettra, Brunetti and Vianello can identify the man and understand why someone wanted him dead."@en

  • "Ein toter Mann, der von niemandem vermisst wird, weder von den Venezianern noch von Touristen. Und ein teuerer Lederschuh am Fuss dieser Leiche. Brunetti muss all seine Menschenkenntnis aufbieten und sein ganzes Kombinationstalent, um diesen Fall zu lösen, der ihn bis aufs Festland nach Mestre führt."
  • "When a body is found floating in a canal, Commissario Brunetti is called to investigate and is convinced he recognises the man from somewhere. Brunetti soon realises why he remembers the dead man, and asks Signorina Elettra if she can help him find footage of a farmers' protest the previous autumn. But what was his involvement with the protest, and what does it have to do with his murder?"@en

  • "Le commissaire Brunetti enquête sur la mort d'un inconnu retrouvé dans le Grand Canal de Venise. L'homme, quoique défiguré, semble familier au commissaire, qui grâce à son assistante, mademoiselle Elettra, retrouve son visage sur une vidéo des dernières manifestations d'agriculteurs. Son enquête le mène jusqu'à un abattoir de Mestre où règne la corruption.--[Memento]."

As subtle and engrossing as ever, Leon's Beastly Things is immensely enjoyable, intriguing, and ultimately moving."
