In the second novel in Leon's Brunetti series, we are introduced to Brunetti's inner circle at the police station. Sgt Vianello, the young Pucetti and Bonsuan the boat driver. Death in a Strange Country in dark and a cynical tale of corruption, murder and cover up. Leon understand the way men corrupt others, corrupt the environment, poison the mind. Again a solid plot layered with ethical dilemmas. Nothing comes without a price and in this novel the price is faith, faith in one's strength to do what's right.
