By its Cover

By Its Cover is the much anticipated twenty-third instalment in Donna Leon`s bestselling crime series, where Commissario Brunetti is better than ever as he addresses questions of worth and value alongside his ever-faithful team of Ispettore Vianello and Signorina Elettra. When several valuable antiquarian books go missing from a prestigious library in the heart of Venice, Commissario Brunetti is immediately called to the scene. The staff suspect an American researcher has stolen them, but for Brunetti something doesn`t quite add up. Taking on the case, the Commissario begins to seek information about some of the library`s regulars, such as the ex-priest Franchini, a passionate reader of ancient Christian literature, and Contessa Morosini-Albani, the library`s chief donor, and comes to the conclusion that the thief could not have acted alone. However, when Franchini is found murdered in his home, the case takes a more sinister turn and soon Brunetti finds himself submerged in the dark secrets of the black market of antiquarian books.Alongside his ever-faithful team of Ispettore Vianello and Signorina Elettra, he delves into the pages of Franchini`s past and into the mind of a book thief in order to uncover the terrible truth.
