Blood from a stone

On a cold Venetian night shortly before Christmas, a street vendor is killed in a scuffle in Campo San Stefano. The closest witnesses to the event are the tourists who had been browsing the man's wares before his death-fake handbags of every designer label. The dead man is one of the many African immigrants purveying goods outside normal shop hours and trading without a work permit. Like everybody involved, Commissario Brunetti wonders why anyone would kill an illegal immigrant.

  • "On a cold Venetian night shortly before Christmas, a man is killed in a scuffle in Venice's Campo San Stefano. Two mysterious white men carry out a professional hit on one of the Somali traders who illegally hawk counterfeit luggage in a local square, and for some reason, Commissario Brunetti's superiors are remarkably keen that the case be left unsolved. Is this mere casual institutional racism or something even more sinister? Warned his superiors, to resist further involvement in the case, Brunetti only becomes more determined to unearth the truth behind this mysterious killing. But how far will he be able to penetrate the murky subculture of Venice's illegal community?"
