«Lasset die Kinder zu mir kommen» is the crime novel by Donna Leon published by Diogenes Verlag AG in hardback (368 pages, in German).
An armed commando breaks into the home of paediatrician Gustavo Pedrolli and kidnaps his eighteen-month-old adopted son. Commissario Brunetti, called to the hospital to question the doctor, clashes with his silence and uncovers a network of illegal adoptions involving money, revenge and the desperation to become parents. The tension is maintained without explicit violence.
Sixteenth case in the Commissario Brunetti series. Translated from the English by Christa E. Seibicke; original title: «Suffer the Little Children».
For readers of the Brunetti series and of European crime fiction, with a plot about illegal adoption 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.
