The Golden Egg (Commissario Brunetti Book 22)

A New York Times bestseller: â€œBrunetti amply displays the keen intelligence and wry humor that has endeared this series to so many.â€ â€”Publishers Weekly
Â
Commissario Brunettiâ€™s latest assignment is to look into a minor shop-keeping violation committed by the mayorâ€™s future daughter-in-law. Brunetti has no interest in helping his boss amass political favors, but has little choice but to comply. Then Brunettiâ€™s wife comes to him with a request of her own. The sweet, simple-minded man who worked at their dry cleaner has just died of a sleeping pill overdose, and Paola loathes the idea that he lived and died without anyone noticing him, or helping him.
Â
Brunetti begins to investigate and is surprised when he finds nothing on the man: no birth certificate, no passport, no driverâ€™s license, no credit cards. As far as the Italian government is concerned, he never existed. Stranger still, the dead manâ€™s mother refuses to speak to the police. And as secrets unravel, Brunetti begins to suspect that an aristocratic family might be somehow connected to the mysteryÂ .Â .Â .
Â
â€œLeonâ€™s successÂ .Â .Â . is testament to the heartening fact that character counts in crime fiction.â€ â€”Booklist, starred review
