It was hot, even for Venice in summer, and Commissario Guido Brunetti was determined to escape from the city and spend some time with the family in the mountains. He dreamed of ''needing'' to wear a sweater, of sleeping under an eiderdown and sitting in front of a fire. Ispettore Lorenzo Vianello was worried about something else. His aunt was obsessed by horoscopes and had been withdrawing large amounts of money from the family business. At his wits' end he consulted Brunetti and asked his permission to have officers trail his aunt. The 'investigation' lead them to Stefano Gorini, but why was Vianello's aunt giving him large amounts of money?

Most of the Brunetti books will read as standalones, although you do get more from them if you read them in [[Donna Leon's Commissario Guido Brunetti Novels in Chronological Order|chronological order]]. There's no riveting continuous storyline which you'll be desperate to follow, but it does give a good feeling of continuity.
