«Esclavos del deseo» is the thirtieth crime novel by Donna Leon featuring Commissario Brunetti, published by Seix Barral in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
The appearance of two unconscious, injured young women at Venice's Civil Hospital leads Brunetti and Griffoni to investigate two Venetians, friends since childhood, for an alleged failure to render aid. The inquiry uncovers a network of illegal trafficking of African immigrants to Venice and forces the police to collaborate with Ignazio Alaimo, an officer of the Capitaneria di Porto who pursues the traffickers.
It is case number 30 for Commissario Brunetti and the instalment of the «Comisario Brunetti» series published in the Biblioteca Formentor collection. Original title: «Transient Desires».
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.
