About Face

About Face by Donna Leon 278 pp. 

This is the 18th installment in the Commissario Guido Brunetti mystery series. There is much going on in this story. Brunetti is approached by one of the Italian Carabinieri (National Police) investigating the illegal transport of toxic materials both within Italy and to other countries for dumping for help in solving a connected murder. While doing that, Brunetti's father-in-law, the wealthy Count Falier, asks him to investigate a potential business whose young and highly intelligent wife is well known for the extreme facial plastic surgery she has endured. By the end of his investigations there are multiple dead, the discovery of very dangerous petrochemicals, and an unexpected killer. Another satisfying episode about Brunetti and company.
