A worthy successor to the author's previous stories covered in bwl about Commissario Brunetti and his colleagues in the Venetian police. This time his wife Paola launches a protest against the exploitation of children in sex tourism by hurling a stone at a travel agency's window. The resulting publicity leads to Brunetti's suspension by his objectionable boss and a string of murder mysteries which the commissario is nevertheless relied on to solve.
