«Das Gesetz der Lagune» is Donna Leon's crime novel, published by Diogenes in hardback (321 pages, in German).
An explosion kills two fishermen on Pellestrina, an island in the Venetian lagoon, and Brunetti must investigate outside Venice, without his usual contacts. When signorina Elettra, on holiday on the island, becomes involved, the case complicates. The novel portrays a closed community that hides its secrets.
Tenth case in the Commissario Brunetti series, subtitled «Commissario Brunettis zehnter Fall». Translated from English by Monika Elwenspoek; original: «A Sea of Troubles».
For readers of crime fiction and fans of the Commissario Brunetti series, set in 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.
