Brunetti is forced to confront the price of loyalty, to his past and in his work, as a seemingly innocent request leads him into troubling waters. What role can or should loyalty play in the life of a police inspector? It's a question Commissario Guido Brunetti must face and ultimately answer in Give Unto Others, Donna Leon's splendid 31st installment of her acclaimed Venetian crime series. Brunetti is approached for a favor by Elisabetta Foscarini, a woman he knows casually, but her mother was good to Brunetti's mother, so he feels obliged to at least look into the matter privately, and not as official police business. Foscarini's son-in-law, Enrico Fenzo, has alarmed his wife (her daughter) by confessing their family might be in danger because of something he's involved with. Since Fenzo is an accountant, Brunetti logically suspects the cause of danger is related to the finances of a client. Yet his clients seem benign: an optician, a restaurateur, a charity established by his father-in-law. However, when his friend's daughter's place of work is vandalized, Brunetti asks his own favors - that his colleagues Claudia Griffoni, Lorenzo Vianello, and Signorina Elettra Zorzi assist his private investigation, which soon enough turns official as they uncover the dark and Janus-faced nature of a venerable Italian institution. Exploring the wobbly line between the criminal and non-criminal, revealing previously untold elements of Brunetti's past, Give Unto Others shows that the price of reciprocity can be steep.… (més)
Brunneti s’endinsa en les llums i ombres de les ONG’s en un món fuetejat per la pandèmia. A l’agost Elisabetta Foscarini, una dona que Brunetti feia anys que no veia, s’acosta al comissari per demanar-li un favor. La mare d’Elisabetta va ser molt generosa amb la seva família, així que Brunetti es veu obligat a investigar l’assumpte en privat i no com un cas oficial de la policia. El gendre d’Elisabetta, que és comptable, ha confessat a la seva dona que està involucrat en un cosa fosca i l’ha alertat que podria córrer perill.

Brunetti had tossed Il Gazzettino into the waste-paper bin before leaving the Questura, but still he took the subject of one of the lead articles home with him.

To her retreating back, Brunetti said, 'I'm not sure I'm clever, my dear, but I am always faithful to the side I fight for.
