from the cover:
"Donna Leon's novels starring the wise and humane Venetian Commissario Guido Brunetti have won legions of fans and are bestsellers around the world. In The Golden Egg, when Brunetti's wife, Paola, asks him to look into the death of the handicapped man who worked as their local dry cleaner, Brunetti is surprised to find nothing on the man in the official records: no birth certificate, no driver's license, no credit cards. As far as the Italian government is concerned, he never existed. And yet, there is the body. As secrets unravel, Brunetti suspects an aristocratic family might be connected to the case. But why would anyone want this sweet, simpleminded man dead?"

Another wonderful series coming to an end, at least for now. Fortunately, Donna Leon is still writing so I will be able to return and visit Brunetti occasionally. I'm looking forward to it.
