Donna Leon: Sanft entschlafen

SYNOPSIS

Brunetti examines a series of suspicious deaths in the church-run seniors rest home where his mother resides, who refuses to move in with him so long. Suspicion falls on the secretive fundamentalist movement Opera Pia, including chaplain Pio Cavaletti. A nurse offering to testify drowns. Finding his Swiss police chief Dr. Urs Brauchli far from mundane, Patta dumps him on Brunetti, as the foreigner shows interest in his case.
