«El huevo de oro» is the crime novel by Donna Leon, published by Booket in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
A deaf man with a mental disability who works in a dry cleaner's in Commissioner Brunetti's neighborhood is found dead from an overdose of pills. The case moves Paola, the commissioner's wife, and pushes Brunetti to investigate: he discovers that the deceased appears in no records and that everyone he dealt with has something to hide. An investigation that becomes a portrait of corruption and cruelty in society.
Seventeenth installment in the Commissario Brunetti series, set in Venice. Belongs to the Crime and Mystery collection.
For readers of classic crime fiction and police series with social depth, like Brunetti's previous adventures.
Donna Leon is the American author of a series of crime novels set in Venice, Italy, featuring the fictional hero Commissario Guido Brunetti. The novels are written in English and have been translated into many foreign languages, although – at Leon's request – not into Italian, as she formerly lived there, still visits monthly, and prefers not to have recognition in the country.
