A lorry crashes on one of the treacherous bends in the Italian Dolomites spilling a terrible
cargo . . . A prominent international layer is found dead in the carriage of an intercity train
at Saint Lucia . . . Can the two tragedies possibly be connected? Commissario Guido Brunetti

Venetian bar lies the clue to an evil crime network reaching far beyond the laguna. But it will
take another violent death in Venice before the forces of justice can even begin to proceed . .
