The Waters of Eternal Youth (Commissario Guido Brunetti Series, Book #25) by Donna Leon
Commissario Guido Brunetti has been called on to investigate many things over the years, from shocking to petty crimes, but in The Waters of Eternal Youth, he finds himself drawn into a case that may not be a case at all. Fifteen years ago, a teenage girl fell into a canal late at night. Unable to swim, she went under and started to drown. She survived when a nearby man, an alcoholic, pulled her out, though not before she suffered irreparable brain damage that left her unable to learn or mature. The man claimed he saw her being thrown into the canal, but the following day, he couldn't remember a thing. Now Brunetti is asked by the girl's grandmother to investigate. Unsure what to do, Brunetti nevertheless finds himself unable to let the case rest if there is a case. Awash in the rhythms of contemporary Venetian life, The Waters of Eternal Youth further cements Donna Leon's reputation as a masterful novelist and this series as a modern classic.
