Unto Us, a Son is Given (Commissario Guido Brunetti Series, Book #28) by Donna Leon
When Count Falier urges his Venetian son-in-law detective Guido Brunetti to investigate the seemingly rash plan of the Count's best friend, the elderly Gonzalo Rodriguez de Tejeda, to adopt a much younger man as his son, Brunetti wonders why the old man couldn't be allowed his pleasure in peace. But Gonzalo unexpectedly drops dead on the street -- leaving the younger man the heir to his estate -- and someone who has questioned the legitimacy of the adoption is killed. Now with an urgent case to solve, Brunetti reluctantly untangles the long-hidden mystery in Gonzalo's life that ultimately led to murder -- a resolution that brings him more pain than satisfaction. Once again, Donna Leon brilliantly plumbs the human condition's twists and turns, reuniting us with some of crime fiction's most memorable and enduring characters.
