    <![CDATA[Liftin, médecin allemand à la retraite, est tout heureux de faire rénover la vieille maison qu'il vient d'acheter dans le village de Col di Cugnan, à cent kilomètres de Venise. Mais en retournant la terre autour de la bâtisse, un ouvrier met à jour un cadavre, ou plus exactement un squelette. Ces restes macabres sont vite identifiés grâce à la découverte d'une bague portant le blason d'une des plus grandes familles de la noblesse vénitienne. Il s'agit de Roberto Lorenzoni, kidnappé deux ans plus tôt alors qu'il était âgé de vingt et un ans. Le commissaire Guido Brunetti est chargé de rouvrir le dossier. Une fois l'identification confirmée grâce au témoignage du dentiste de Roberto, le policier se rend chez les Lorenzoni pour les interroger. Depuis la disparition de son fils, la comtesse n'est plus qu'une ombre. Le comte, lui, a gardé vigueur et sens des affaires (il a confié la charge des celles-ci à son neveu Maurizio). C'est à ce nouveau personnage que le commissaire commence à s'intéresser…   <p>Cette septième enquête du policier vénitien s'étire avec une certaine nonchalance pour promener le lecteur au cœur de l'aristocratie italienne avant de se resserrer dans la dernière ligne droite en révélant de sombres secrets. Comme à l'habitude, on prend plaisir à ce récit émaillé de digressions autour de Brunetti et de sa famille, ses conflits larvés avec son supérieur et ses dialogues pleins d'humour avec sa secrétaire, la signorina Elettra. Un régal ! <em>--Claude Mesplède</em>  </p>]]>

There is little violence this these books and that appeals to me.  Probably the best of these books is the relationships Brunetti has at home and at work.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66975525">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Donna Leon has topped European bestseller lists for more than a decade with a series of mysteries featuring clever Commissario Guido Brunetti. Always ready to bend the rules to uncover the threads of a crime, Brunetti manages to maintain his integrity while maneuvering through a city rife with politics, corruption, and intrigue. <br/><br/> In <em>A Noble Radiance</em> a new landowner is summoned urgently to his house not far from Venice when workmen accidentally unearth a macabre grave. The human corpse is badly decomposed, but a ring found nearby proves to be a first clue that reopens an infamous case of kidnapping involving one of Venice's most aristocratic families. Only Commissario Brunetti can unravel the clues and find his way into both the heart of patrician Venice and that of a family grieving for their abducted son.]]>

    <![CDATA[Donna Leon has topped European bestseller lists for more than a decade with a series of mysteries featuring clever Commissario Guido Brunetti. Always ready to bend the rules to uncover the threads of a crime, Brunetti manages to maintain his integrity while maneuvering through a city rife with politics, corruption, and intrigue. <br/><br/> In <em>A Noble Radiance</em> a new landowner is summoned urgently to his house not far from Venice when workmen accidentally unearth a macabre grave. The human corpse is badly decomposed, but a ring found nearby proves to be a first clue that reopens an infamous case of kidnapping involving one of Venice's most aristocratic families. Only Commissario Brunetti can unravel the clues and find his way into both the heart of patrician Venice and that of a family grieving for their abducted son.]]>
