Second book in the Guido Burnetti series. Brunetti is a commissario (detective superintendent) in the Italian State Police, stationed in Venice and a native of that city. From Wikipedia: "Early one morning Brunetti is confronted with the body of a young man fished out of a fetid canal. All clues point to a mugging, but robbery seems too convenient a motive. Then something incriminating is found in the dead man's flat, which points to the existence of a high level cabal, and Brunetti becomes convinced that somebody is taking great pains to provide an easy solution to the crime." Die Leiche eines sportiven jungen Amerikaners im Kanal, der Tod seiner Freundin durch eine injizierte Überdosis, Bilderdiebstähle, Giftmüllverbrechen, Mafia und High Society machen dem sensiblen Detektiv die Ermittlungsarbeit schwer Die Leiche trieb mit dem Gesicht nach unten im dunklen Wasser des Kanals.
