Friends in High Places: Book summary and reviews of Friends in High Places by Donna Leon
Friends in High Places SummaryPaperback original. Donna Leon's 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 Brunetti's 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. Friends in High Places Reviews"Leon is a skillful plotter and the story quickly opens out as Brunetti's investigations take him into the dark side of Venetian life and the world of drug abuse and loan sharking. 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." - The Guardian (UK).
