«Malas artes» is the crime novel by Donna Leon, published by Seix Barral in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
A student asks Commissario Brunetti for advice to clear her family's name, tainted by a crime committed by her grandfather. When she is found murdered, Brunetti investigates the plunder of Italian Jews by the Nazis during World War II. He uncovers a network of collaboration, organized crime, and secrets that many prefer to keep hidden.
«Malas artes» belongs to the Commissario Brunetti series, as the eleventh installment. It won the Corine Internationaler Buchpreis 2003 in the Belletristik category.
For readers of crime and detective fiction with a Venetian setting and historical background.
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.
