Mystery

Dead Lagoon

by Michael Dibdin · Aurelio Zen series

Zen investigates an American's death in Venice while navigating the politics of a city that treats tourists as currency and outsiders as threats. Dibdin returns to the canals with a plot that folds organized crime, real estate, and expatriate delusion into a mystery that is as much about place as it is about murder.
