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