Donna Leonas sophisticated Commissario Brunetti series has won her legions of fans over the years. In Friends in High Places, Brunetti is visited by a young bureaucrat investigating the lack of official approval for the building of Brunettias apartment years before. What began as a red tape headache ends in murder when the bureaucrat is found dead after a mysterious fall from a scaffold. Brunetti starts an investigation that will take him into unfamiliar and dangerous areas of Venetian life, and will reveal, once again, what a difference it makes to have friends in high places.

Synopsis:

What begins as a red-tape headache for Commissario Brunetti regarding his Venice apartment building ends in murder after a bureaucrat on the case is found dead after a mysterious fall from a scaffold. Original.
