Commissario Guido Brunetti hopes for a vacation are disrupted by the discovery of a dead man's body lying in a field in Marghera, on the mainland. The dead man is dressed in the clothing of a woman but Brunetti suspects that was done after death. While questioning the local male prostitutes he finds his investigation stymied by an influential lawyer whose connection to the crime seems tenuous. In a side plot, Brunetti's boss is dealing with the breakup of his marriage when his wife leaves him for a porn movie producer. And just how the Lega della Moralita (League of Morality) and the Bank of Verona ties in with it all adds another layer to the investigation. This is my new favorite mystery series. That I blogged two books in a row with male prostitutes as a theme is purely serendipitous.
