Donna LeonThe Commissario Guido Brunetti Mystery SeriesBy Its Cover Donna Leon comments about her upcoming #23 "By Its Cover is concerned with books: their meaning and importance, their theft, and the need to preserve them. Brunetti is given the chance to muse on books as text, books as object, book as historical record. There's a murder, too, but books are far more interesting." Product Description: One afternoon, Commissario Guido Brunetti gets a frantic call from the director of a prestigious Venetian library. Someone has stolen pages out of several rare books. After a round of questioning, the case seems clear: the culprit must be the man who requested the volumes, an American professor from a Kansas university. The only problem—the man fled the library earlier that day, and after checking his credentials, the American professor doesn’t exist. As the investigation proceeds, the suspects multiply. And when a seemingly harmless theologian, who had spent three years at the library reading the Fathers of the Church, turns up brutally murdered, Brunetti must question his expectations about what makes a man innocent, or guilty.
