Mystery Blood from a Stone is Book #14 in the highly recommended Commissario Guido Brunetti series written by Donna Leon. “On a cold Venetian night shortly before Christmas, a street vendor is killed in Campo San Stefano.” “The dead man was one of many African immigrants purveying goods outside normal shop hours and trading without a work permit. Once Commissario Brunetti begins to investigate this unfamiliar Venetian underworld, he discovers that matters of great value are at stake within the secretive society. And his boss’s warning to avoid getting involved only makes Brunetti more determined to unearth the truth behind this mysterious killing.” An outstanding series. ***** Piedras ensangrentadas Donna Leon Publicado: 2005 | 229 páginas Novela Policial Serie: Comisario Brunetti #14 /sjMayKwOo_G4 Una fría noche, poco antes de Navidad, un vendedor ambulante africano es asesinado mientras intenta vender imitaciones de bolsos de diseño a unos turistas. ¿Por qué querría alguien matar a un inmigrante ilegal? La respuesta más obvia es la primera aceptada: un ajuste de cuentas entre ellos. Pero cuando Brunetti y sus fieles aliados, Vianello y la signorina Elettra, investigan en los bajos fondos venecianos descubren que entre la sociedad inmigrante hay en juego asuntos de mucho mayor calado. El descubrimiento de pruebas críticas y las oportunas advertencias de su superior para abandonar el caso no hacen sino aumentar la determinación de Brunetti para esclarecer este misterioso asesinato. Con catorce casos resueltos y un clamoroso éxito internacional, Donna Leon está considerada una de las más importantes damas de la novela negra actual.
In this stunning novel, the 14th to feature the dogged, intuitive Venetian police detective Guido Brunetti (after 2004's Doctored Evidence ), Leon combines an engrossing, complex plot with an indictment of the corruption endemic to Italian society. Leon’s most adroit balance of teasing mystery, Brunetti’s droll battles with his co-workers and higher-ups, and intimations of something far deeper and darker behind the curtain.

On a cold Venetian night shortly before Christmas, a street vendor is killed in a scuffle in Campo San Stefano. The closest witnesses are the tourists who had been browsing the man's wares before his death-fake handbags of every designer label. The dead man had been working as a vu cumpra, one of the many African immigrants purveying goods outside normal shop hours and without work permits. Commissario Brunetti's response is that of everybody involved: Why would anyone kill an illegal immigrant? Once Brunetti begins to investigate this unfamiliar Venetian underworld, he discovers that matters of great value are at stake. Warned by Patta, his supervisor, to resist further involvement in the case, how far will Brunetti be able to penetrate the murky subculture of Venice's illegal community?
