Legendary American crime fiction author Donna Leon lived for many years in the stunning city of Venice. Although she has now traded the canals for the calm of Switzerland, she still sets her books in the city of lagoons.
In A Refiner’s Fire, her world-famous Commissario Brunetti solves his 33rd case: Glass shards are scattered across the Piazza San Marco after a clash between two teenage gangs. While Commissario Griffoni tries to use her female intuition to learn how a teenager got sucked into a flashmob, Brunetti uses his own connections. Yes, even Vice-Questore Patta is willing to do anything to protect himself and his people from incidents that are especially unwelcome in a tourist city such as Venice.
“With Commissario Brunetti, Donna Leon has invented a character who is as likable as he is intelligent and human” (Die Welt). German text: Annett Renneberg; Host: Shelly Kupferberg
