«Mort en terre étrangère» is the crime novel by Donna Leon, published by Calmann-Lévy in paperback (308 pages, in French).
Commissario Brunetti investigates the connection between the corpse of a young American soldier found in a Venetian canal and a theft in a city palace; although nothing initially links them, his inquiries clash with the military police, internal pressures, the mafia, and pollution, portraying a fascinating and dangerous Venice.
This work is the second installment in the Commissario Brunetti series and was originally published in English as «Death in a Strange Country» in 1993.
The book is intended for mystery and crime readers seeking an investigation set in Venice with a protagonist who has a family life.
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.
