On a cold Venetian night shortly before Christmas, a man is killed in a scuffle in Campo San Stefano.

When Commissario Brunetti arrives on the scene, he finds it hard to understand why anyone would murder an illegal immigrant. They have few social connections and little money; in-fighting is the obvious answer.

Recensione:
"The fabulous Donna Leon" (Antonia Fraser Spectator)
"The thoughtful and charming [Brunetti] is on top form... His nicely balanced world...is cumulatively engrossing" (Sunday Times)
"Donna Leon has a wonderful feel for the hidden evils that lie below the façade of the magical city" (The Times)
"[Leon's] passion for all things Venetian - churches, palaces, statues and especially the food - comes over loud and clear... No one writes about the grey areas of life better" (Guardian)
"It would be simply perverse not to acknowledge the skill with which Leon has assembled these familiar elements... The reader comes to look forward to Paola's elegant Venetian lunches as much as Brunetti does...Comfort reading of the highest order" (TLS)
