Donna Leon: Lasset die Kinder zu mir kommen

ÖZET

Carabinieri (national paramilitary police) captain Marvilli's non-uniformed men arrested at night near-naked and beat into hospital pediatrician Gustavo Pedrolli, suspect of the murder of Albanian illegal cleaner Rozafa Krasnic from Verona, who demanded the return of her illegally adopted baby Alfredo. Brunetti and Marvilli, a cocky Sicilian, rival for jurisdiction but end up collaborating. The trail leads to baby sales, but also Pedrolli's wife Biancha's tycoon father Franchi.
