Description

"By far the best" in the New York Times-bestselling, Macallan Silver Dagger-winning series featuring Venetian detective Commissario Brunetti (Evening Standard).

In this vivid and atmospheric mystery, Commissario Brunetti is visited by a young bureaucrat investigating the lack of official approval for the construction of Brunetti's apartment years before. What began as a red tape headache ends in murder when the bureaucrat is later found dead after a mysterious fall from a scaffold. Brunetti starts an investigation that will take him into the unfamiliar and dangerous areas of drug abuse and loan-sharking, and will reveal, once again, what a difference it makes in Venice to have friends in high places.

"Beautifully written and immaculately plotted, Friends in High Places is further proof still that Leon can do no wrong." -- Scotsman

"Carefully plotted and full of colorful as well as sinister characters, this is crime writing of the highest order: powerful, relevant and all too full of human failings." -- The Guardian

"Leon tells the story as if she loves Venice as much as her detective does, warts and all. The plot and subplots unfold elegantly; beauty and the beast march hand in hand, and the result is rich entertainment." -- The Sunday Times (London)

"Leon's best so far... I don't think I could really understand a crime fan who didn't love Donna Leon." -- Scotland on Sunday

"Leon is a skillful plotter... Brunetti is a nicely shaded creation, a moral man who is also all too human. Friends in High Places is a splendid read, clever and provoking." -- Observer (UK)
