Donna Leon: Das Gesetz der Lagune

SINOSSI

Commissario Guido Brunetti finds nobody willing to talk in an island's 'clam-closed' fishermen community, where illegal crustacean harvesting is common. An unpopular fisherman and his generally like adult son are found drowned, but also heavily drugged. Shopkeeper Follini, an outsider with a scandalous past, is drowned too once willing to spill some beans. The vice-questore's secretary insists, against Guido's advice, to snoop around as she visits family on the island every year and nobody knows she's police-employed, but the affair that makes it a pleasant holiday proves poisoned.
