«La palabra se hizo carne» is the crime novel by Donna Leon, published by Seix Barral in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
Commissario Brunetti investigates the corpse of a man found in a Venice canal, with no identification or missing-person reports. The forensic pathologist finds a strange disease, and Brunetti senses he knew the victim. The trail leads to the slaughterhouse in Preganziol and a corrupt scheme in the Venetian food industry.
Twenty-first installment in the Commissario Brunetti series. The original title is Beastly Things; translation by Beatriz Iglesias Lamas.
For fans of crime fiction and police procedurals 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.
