«Mientras dormían» is the crime novel by Donna Leon, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (315 pages, in Spanish).
Commissario Brunetti investigates a case that leads him to the most influential circles of the Catholic Church in Venice. There he discovers a network of corruption, hypocrisy and abuse of power, where institutional silence covers up sexual perversions and unconfessable practices. The investigation becomes a denunciation of the privileges and double morality of a powerful institution.
Translation by Ana María de la Fuente; original title: 'Quietly in Their Sleep'. Edition with dust jacket, published in 2012.
For readers of crime fiction and for those seeking an investigative story with social and institutional criticism.
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.
