SIGNED hardcover first edition - Another title in her highly praised, and prize-winning, series of mysteries featuring Guido Brunetti, commissario of the Venice police.

The dead man was working as a vu cumpra, one of the many Black Africans selling goods outside normal shop hours without a work permit. Arriving on the scene, Commissario Brunetti's response matches that of everybody involved: why would anyone kill an illegal immigrant?" SIGNED on the title page. 276 pp. Map endpapers.
