Review:

A measured, thoughtful conspiracy investigation that goes a long way toward extending Leon's range. This is definitely an author to watch. "Kirkus Reviews"
Intriguing plot Venice looms large as a well-painted backdrop. Its damp, crumbling beauty and tourist-mobbed sites are as vivid in Leon s depiction as the rich tang of espresso boiling over. "Publishers Weekly "
What makes Leon s work especially unnerving is the sense that corruption is a continuing process. . . . The characters of Brunetti and his family continue to deepen throughout this series. "The Times" (UK)
This series has become one of the adornments of current crime fiction. A gem.
