During a performance of La Traviata at the La Fenice theatre in Venice, the celebrated German conductor Wellauer is found dead in his dressing room. Commissario Guido Brunetti establishes that he was poisoned with cyanide and, as he investigates, uncovers the hidden side of the opera world and the victim's true personality.

For readers of classic crime and mystery fiction, with a police investigation 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.
