A New York Times Bestselling Author 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, it?s 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 when they check his credentials, the American professor doesn?t exist.
