«Die dunkle Stunde der Serenissima» is the crime novel by Donna Leon, published by Diogenes Verlag in paperback (384 pages, in German).
Claudia Leonardo, a student of Paola Brunetti, asks her professor for advice about an old accusation that tarnishes her grandfather's honour. Shortly afterwards she is found dead. Investigating, Brunetti uncovers a web of collectors, agents and shady art deals, with roots in the Second World War and in silences within his own family.
Eleventh novel in the Commissario Brunetti series; originally published as 'Wilful Behaviour'. Translation by Christa E. Seibicke.
For fans of Commissario Brunetti and for readers of mystery novels 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.
