Death in a Strange Country (The Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery Series, Book 2)

373 pp. Excerpt from Doctored Evidence follows text. "In Death in a Strange Country Commissario Guido Brunetti confronts a grisly sight when the body of a young American is fished out of a fetid Venetian canal. Though all the signs point to a violent mugging, something incriminating turns up in the victim’s apartment that suggests the existence of a high level conspiracy—and Brunetti becomes convinced that somebody is taking great pains to provide a ready-made solution to the crime. As dark and riveting as its predecessors, Death in a Strange Country will provide Leon’s growing fan base with another chilling read."
