The Anonymous Venetian
Commissario Brunetti's hopes of a refreshing holiday with his family are dashed when a body is found in Marghera so badly beaten that the face is unrecognizable. Brunetti searches in vain for someone who can identify the body. Then he receives a call promising some tantalizing information.
There are a large number of individuals who have helped me with this book. They will eventually be thanked here. Until then, some random collection: Rick Antle. Donna Battista. Randolph Beatty. Wolfgang Bühler. Kangbin Chua. Diego Garcia. Stan Garstka. Roger Ibbotson. Ludovic Phalippou. Matthew Spiegel. John Strong. Julie Yufe. Many anonymous victim students using earlier error-ridden drafts. Most importantly, Mary-Clare McEwing helped me improve the book.

For the past few decades, we have lived in a culture that privileged fame, money, power—and most people were led to believe that these were the real values that they were to pursue. What we don’t know is that, behind the scenes, the real manipulators remain anonymous.
