All clues point to a violent mugging, but for Brunetti the motive of robbery seems altogether too convenient. When something discovered in the victim's apartment suggests the existence of a high-level conspiracy, Brunetti becomes convinced that somebody, somewhere, is taking great pains to provide a ready-made solution to the crime.<br /> <br /> Rich with atmosphere and marvelous plotting, <i>Death in a Strange Country</i> is a superb novel in Donna Leon's chilling Venetian mystery series.<br /> <br /> <b>Praise for Donna Leon and the Commissario Brunetti Mysteries</b><br /> "One of the best international crime writers is Donna Leon, and her Commissario Guido Brunetti tales set in Venice are at the apex of continental thrillers." —<i>Rocky Mountain News</i><br /> <br /> "Leon's books shimmer in the grace of their setting and are warmed by the charm of her characters." —<i>The New York Times Book Review</i><br /> <br /> "Brunetti . . . long ago joined the ranks of the classic fictional detectives." —<i>Evening Standard</i><br /> <br /> "Commissario Brunetti, most charismatic current Euro-cop, uncovers deadly ants' nest of corruption.
