The golden egg

For Patta, Brunetti is only supposed to investigate pro forma this time: he is to protect the reputation of the mayor, whose future daughter-in-law has broken the law. Paola, on the other hand, is relentless: she wants to know what kind of person the deceased was, who died in the Brunetti's neighborhood. At first, everything looks like an accident: the sleeping pills were colorful like candy, and the boy wasn't quite right in the head. However, the more Brunetti inquires, the more contradictions come to light, culminating in a murder. No one claims to have known anything. Yet, doing nothing can also lead to disaster. Brunetti's most personal case.
