Blood From a Stone (Commissario Guido Brunetti Series, Book #14) by Donna Leon
On a cold night shortly before Christmas, a Senegalese street vendor is killed in Venice's Campo Santo Stefano. The nearest witnesses to the death are the tourists who have been browsing the man's wares -- fake handbags of every designer label --, but they have seen nothing that might be of much help to the police. When Commissario Guido Brunetti arrives on the scene, he finds it hard to understand why anyone would murder an illegal immigrant. They have few social connections and little money, so infighting among them seems the obvious answer. But once Brunetti begins investigating this unfamiliar underworld, he discovers that matters of great value are at stake in this community.
