"Another captivating mystery featuring "the most humane sleuth since Georges Simenon’s Inspector Maigret" (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
With more than 500,000 copies of her books in print in the United States, Donna Leon continues to find new fans for her riveting Commissario Guido Brunetti mysteries. In Death and Judgment, a truck crashes and spills its dangerous cargo on a treacherous road in the Italian Dolomite mountains. Meanwhile, in Santa Lucia, a prominent international lawyer is found dead aboard an intercity train. Suspecting a connection between the two tragedies, Brunetti digs deep for an answer, stumbling upon a seedy Venetian bar that holds the key to a crime network that reaches far beyond the laguna. But it will take another violent death in Venice before Brunetti and his colleagues begin to understand what is really going on.
"The sophisticated but still moral Brunetti ... proves a worthy custodian of timeless values and verities." —The Wall Street Journal
"No one is more graceful and accomplished than Leon." —The Washington Post
