With her latest novel, <i>Through a Glass, Darkly,</i> Leon takes us inside the secretive island of Murano, home of the world-famous glass factories. On a luminous spring day in Venice, Commissario Brunetti and his assistant Vianello play hooky from the Questura in order to help Vianello's friend Marco Ribetti, arrested during an environmental protest. They secure his release, only to be faced by the fury of the man's father-in-law, Giovanni De Cal, a cantankerous glass factory owner who has been heard in the bars of Murano making violent threats about Ribetti. Brunetti's curiosity is piqued, and he finds himself drawn to Murano to investigate. Is De Cal the type of man to carry out his threats? Then one morning the body of De Cal's night watchman is found. Over long lunches, on secret boat rides, in quiet bars, and down narrow streets, Brunetti searches for the killer. Will he unravel the clues before the night watchman's death is allowed to be forgotten?<br><br>A fascinating novel set in the intersection between tourism and native Venetian society, <i>Through a Glass, Darkly</i> is Donna Leon at her finest.<br></div> 66016 book 1 4 2006 Through a Glass, Darkly: A Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery total:384|5:6|4:20|3:5|2:1|1:1| 384 1399 523 51 68095 0871139375 9780871139375 355 44 3.64 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170685512m/68095.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/68095.Through_a_Glass_Darkly 2 0 false Wed May 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 13:34:27 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 18:44:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 922565 0099491036 9780099491033 5 2 3.64 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179490749m/922565.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/922565.Through_a_Glass_Darkly 3 0 false Wed Aug 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 19:35:33 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 16:11:02 -0700 2008 more...]]> 68095 0871139375 9780871139375 355 44 3.64 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170685512m/68095.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/68095.Through_a_Glass_Darkly 3 0 false Mon May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Aug 15 10:11:54 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 15 10:12:51 -0700 2007 Leon, Donna – 15th in series
