About

An assault on a pediatrician reveals a web of corruption and deception in the New York Times–bestselling, Silver Dagger Award–winning series.

When Commissario Brunetti is summoned in the middle of the night to the hospital bed of a senior pediatrician, he is confronted with more questions than answers. Three men-a young Carabiniere captain and two privates from out of town-have burst into the doctor's apartment in the middle of the night, attacked him, and taken away his eighteen-month-old baby boy.

What could have motivated an assault by the forces of the state so violent it has left the doctor mute? Who would have authorized such an alarming operation? At the same time, Brunetti's colleague Inspector Vianello discovers a moneymaking scam between pharmacists and doctors in the city. But it appears as if one of the pharmacists is after more than money . . .

This is a smart, suspenseful novel in the series set in a beautifully realized Venice, a glorious city seething with small-town vice.
