Give Unto Others

In "Give unto Others," the thirty-first book in Donna Leon's Venetian crime series, Commissario Guido Brunetti grapples with the implications of loyalty as a seemingly simple request leads him into complex waters. Tasked by Elisabetta Foscarini to investigate potential dangers surrounding her family, Brunetti delves into the financial dealings of Enrico Fenzo, an accountant whose clients, ranging from an optician to a charity, seemingly lead to no cause for alarm. However, as the investigation unfolds—drawing in his colleagues and revealing unsettling truths about a respected institution—Brunetti must confront the steep costs of duty and reciprocity.
