Uniform Justice. A Commissario Brunetti Novel
Category: Fiction: Mystery
Author: Donna Leon
Copyright/published Year: 2003 by Atlantic Monthly
ISBN: 0871139030
Binding: Hardcover
As Uniform Justice opens, Venetian detective Commissario
Guido Brunetti is called to investigate a parent's worst
nightmare. A young cadet has been found hanged, a presumed
suicide, in Venice's elite military academy. Brunetti's sorrow
for the boy, so close in age to his own son, is rivaled only by
his contempt for a community that is more concerned with
protecting the reputation of the school, and its privileged
students, than understanding this tragedy. The young man is the
son of a doctor and former politician, a man of an impeccable
integrity all too rare in Italian politics. Dr. Moro is clearly
and understandably devastated by his son's death; but while both
he and his apparently estranged wife seem convinced that the
boy's death could not have been suicide, neither appears eager to
talk to the police or involve Brunetti in any investigation of
the circumstances in which he died. As Brunetti pursues his
inquiry, he is faced with a wall of silence. Is the military
protecting its own? And what of the other witnesses? Is this the
natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the
authorities, or is Brunetti facing a conspiracy far greater than
this one death?
