Book 27 in the Commissario Brunetti series. A worried mother consults Brunetti about the possibility of her teenage son using drugs sold at his school. There isn't much Brunetti can do for her because she has no proof but since she is a colleague of his wife Paola he does his best to appease her. Shortly after her visit, her husband suffers a Traumatic Brain Injury in a fall on a bridge late at night. Brunetti investigates the incident to discover if it was an accident or an assault. While the man lies comatose in the hospital Brunetti's investigations uncover a long running pharmaceutical fraud victimizing the elderly, specifically ones with Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. This fraud was also uncovered by the victim, an accountant. While he is busy with inquiries, Brunetti also manages to disarm suspicions that Signorina Elettra is the source of information leaks at the Questura.
