Commissario Guido Brunetti is wakened by the phone in the we hours of the night to come to the police department because of a crime of vandalism committed. He arrives to find the arrested culprit is Paola, his wife. As a protest against travel agents who arrange "less than savory" trips for men, Paola has committed an act of vandalism, throwing a rock through the front window of an agency. This one act puts Brunetti's career in jeopardy as well as Paola's position as a university professor. Before a decision is made about reimbursing the man who owns the agency and other businesses, that man is murdered, garroted in his own home office. Brunetti is charged with finding the killer which opens up an investigation into fraud, tainted pharmaceuticals, and revelations about the "innocent" victim of Paola's protests.
