A New York Times Bestseller When the body of a man is found in a canal? damaged by the tides? with no wallet and one shoe? Commissario Guido Brunetti has little to work with. No local has filed a missing-person report; no hotel guests have disappeared. The autopsy shows a way forward: the man had a rare? disfiguring disease. A canvas of shoe stores brings Brunetti and Inspector Vianello to the mainland in Mestre? outside of their usual sphere.
