Through the warmhearted, perceptive, and principled Commissario Guido Brunetti, Leon's bestselling books have explored Venice in all its aspects: history, tourism, high culture, food, family, but also violent crime and political corruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eAbout Face\u003c\/em\u003e, Leon returns to one of her signature subjects: the environment, which has reached a crisis in Italy. Incinerators across the south of Italy are at full capacity, burning who-knows-what and releasing unacceptable levels of dangerous air pollutants, while in Naples, enormous garbage piles grow in the streets. In Venice, with the polluted waters of the canals and a major chemical complex across the lagoon, the issue is never far from the fore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnvironmental concerns become significant in Brunetti's work when an investigator from the Carabiniere, looking into the illegal hauling of garbage, asks for a favor. But the investigator is not the only one with a special request. His father-in-law needs help and a mysterious woman comes into the picture. Brunetti soon finds himself in the middle of an investigation into murder and corruption more dangerous than anything he's seen before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49313037713712,"sku":"BDaxxt","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49313037746480,"sku":"ZEaxxt","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49313037779248,"sku":"ZMaxxt","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/axxt-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775750923","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-axxt","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
