Sobre este artículo
New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 2003. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. The 12th book in Leon's highly-praised police procedural series featuring Venetian Commissario Guido Brunetti sees him dealing with the apparent suicide of a young cadet at Venice's elite military academy. Both the military and civilian authorities at the school provide Brunetti with very limited cooperation and, as he begins his investigation his first task must be to penetrate the "wall of silence" that may be hiding more than the facts surrounding the boy's death. First U.S. edition, first printing (as stated, with complete number line). About 6 x 8 1/2 inches, 259 pages in blue paper-covered boards with black backstrip and gold lettering on spine. Front panel of DJ shows pair of men in military uniforms silhouetted against a blue-tinted photo of a city square with crowd of buildings in background. Back panel contains six blurbs of praise from newspaper reviews. Boards and text are complete, clean and unmarked, without noticeable flaws or damage. No tears, bumped corners, dogearred pages. Not ex-library, not remaindered. DJ shows only a touch of rubbing and edge wear. No tears, creasing, or chipping. Not price-clipped. A very collectable copy in Leon's continuing, high-quality series.
Sinopsis
For more than a decade Donna Leon has been a bestseller in Europe with a series of mysteries featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti. Always ready to bend the rules to solve a crime, Brunetti manages to maintain his integrity while maneuvering through a city rife with politics, corruption, and intrigue. In Uniform Justice , a young cadet has been found hanged, a presumed suicide, in Venice’s elite military academy. Brunetti’s sorrow for the boy, so close in age to his own son, is rivaled only by his contempt for a community that is more concernedwith protecting the reputation of the school, and its privileged students, than with finding the truth. The young man’s father is a doctor and former politician. He is a man of an impeccable integrity who inexplicably avoids talking to the police. As Brunetti pursues his inquiry, he is faced with a wall of silence. Is the military protecting its own? Or has Brunetti uncovered a conspiracy far more sinister than that of a single death?
