About this item
A New York Times Bestseller As the first leaves of autumn begin to fall, Vice Questore Patta asks Commissario Guido Brunetti to look into a minor violation committed by the mayor?s future daughter-in-law. Brunetti has no interest in helping his boss amass political favors, but has little choice but to comply. Then the sweet, simple-minded man who worked at the dry cleaner dies of a sleeping pill overdose, and Brunetti?s wife, Paola, asks him to investigate. But why would anyone want him dead?
