An early outing by Commissario Brunetti, Sergeant (still) Vianello and Signorina Elettra who has obviously only just started her career as Patta’s PA.
Their investigation features international antiquities theft/forgery, the 1994 Xian Terracotta Army exhibition in Venice, the long reach of the Sicilian Mafia, and Venice’s infamous Acqua Alta.
