Venetian detective Commissario Guido Brunetti is named to investigate the death of a young cadet. The boy has been found hanged, a presumed suicide, in Venice's elite military academy. Brunetti's sorrow for the boy, so close in age to his own son, is rivaled only by his contempt for a community that is more worried about protecting the trustworthiness of the school, and its privileged students, than understanding this tragedy. The young man is the son of a health care provider and former politician, a man associated with an impeccable integrity all too rare in Italian politics. Dr. Moro is plainly and understandably devastated by his son's death; but while both he and his apparently estranged wife seem convinced that the boy's death cannot have been suicide, neither appears wanting to talk to the police or involve Brunetti in virtually any investigation of the circumstances where he died. As Brunetti pursues his inquiry, he is confronted with a wall of silence. May be the military protecting its? And what of the other witnesses? Is this the natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the authorities, or is Brunetti facing a conspiracy much larger than that one death?
