Praise for Friends in High Places:
Winner of the Crime Writers Association Macallan Silver Dagger Award for Fiction
Beautifully written and immaculately plotted, Friends in High Places is further proof still that Leon can do no wrong.”Scotsman
Carefully plotted and full of colorful as well as sinister characters, this is crime writing of the highest order: powerful, relevant and all too full of human failings.”Guardian (UK)
All Donna Leon’s novels are excellent in their evocation of place, while in Brunetti she has created a character who . . . becomes more real in each book. Friends in High Places is, however, by far the best, and marks a quantum leap forward.”Evening Standard (London)
Leon’s best so far . . . I don’t think I could really understand a crime fan who didn’t love Donna Leon.”Scotland on Sunday
Leon is a skilful plotter . . . Brunetti is a nicely shaded creation, a moral man who is also all too human. Friends in High Places is a splendid read, clever and provoking.”Observer (UK)
Friends in High Places [is an] elegant police procedural set in beautifully imagined Venice.”Sunday Times (UK)
In Friends in High Places, Commissario Guido Brunetti is visited by a young bureaucrat investigating the lack of approval for the building of Brunetti's apartment years before. What began as a red tape headache ends in murder when the bureaucrat is later found dead after a mysterious fall from a scaffold. Brunetti starts an investigation that will take him into the unfamiliar and dangerous areas of drug abuse and loan-sharking, and will reveal, once again, what a difference it makes in Venice to have friends in high places.
