Description

Storytel presents “Death in a Foreign Land”—the second novel in Dona Leon’s series of Venetian detective stories, dark and refined, just like the city itself.

Everything seems to point to murder during a robbery, but an unexpected discovery in the deceased man’s apartment suggests that it’s not so simple—and that forces far more influential may be behind the killing.
