The Girl Of His Dreams.

DONNA LEON

Publication: William Heinemann, 2008, London

First edition. Signed by the author. Fine in fine dust jacket. One rainy morning, Commissario Brunetti and Inspector Vianello respond to a call reporting a body floating near the steps in one of Venice's side canals. Reaching down to pull it out, Brunetti's wrist is caught by the silkiness of golden hair when he sees a small foot. Together he and Vianello lift a dead girl from the water. No one has reported a missing child, nor the theft of the gold jewelry that she carries. So Brunetti is drawn into a search not only for the cause of her death but also for her identity, her family, and for the secrets that people will keep in order to protect their children. The investigation takes Brunetti from the canals and palazzos of Venice to a Gypsy encampment on the mainland.
