New York: HarperCollins, 1995. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. The fourth novel in Leon's highly-praised mystery-suspense series featuring Italian police commissario, Guido Brunetti. This time the Venetian detective investigates the shooting of a powerful lawyer on a train from Padua to Venice, connects it to the apparent suicide of a high-powered accountant and uncovers an international web of exploitation, vice and murder. Light blue boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a touch of edgewear, minor rubbing and surface wear, no tears or chipping, not price-clipped. A very collectable copy of what is perhaps the scarcest book in this series.

Synopsis

With more than 500,000 copies of her books in print in the United States, Donna Leon continues to find new fans for her riveting Commissario Guido Brunetti mysteries. In Death and Judgment , a truck crashes and spills its dangerous cargo on a treacherous road in the Italian Dolomite mountains. Meanwhile, in Santa Lucia, a prominent international lawyer is found dead aboard an intercity train. Suspecting a connection between the two tragedies, Brunetti digs deep for an answer, stumbling upon a seedy Venetian bar that holds the key to a crime network that reaches far beyond the laguna. But it will take another violent death in Venice before Brunetti and his colleagues begin to understand what is really going on.
