In Venice, an African street vendor is shot dead at the Christmas market.

For readers of crime fiction and fans of Commissario Brunetti looking for plots with social background and present-day Venice.
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.
