A REFINERS FIRE - DONNA LEON KARTONIERT (TB)

Commissario Guido Brunetti returns with a gripping and powerful case about the murkiness of
power and a test of loyalties   When two teenage gangs are arrested after clashing violently in
one of Venice's campi   the son of a local hero is implicated. But when Commissario Guido
Brunetti is asked by a wealthy foreigner to vet this man  Monforte  for a job  he discovers
that Monforte might not be such a hero after all.  This seeming contradiction  and a brutal
attack on one of Brunetti's colleagues by a possible gang member  concentrate Brunetti's
attentions. Soon  he discovers the sordid hypocrisy surrounding Monforte's past  culminating in
a fiery meeting of two gangs and a final opportunity for redemption.   A Refiner's Fire is
Donna Leon at her very best: an elegant  sophisticated storyteller whose indelible characters
become richer with each book  and who constantly interrogates the ambiguity between moral and
legal justice.
