The golden egg / Donna Leon
Livre
Edité par Vintage. London - 2014
When making routine enquiries into a possible bribery case that could embarrass the mayor - a humiliation Vice-Questore Patta is very keen to avoid - Commissario Brunetti receives a call from his wife, Paola, who is evidently very upset. The middle-aged deaf mute with the mental age of a child who helped out at the Brunetti's dry cleaners has been found dead - an ╝accidental' overdose of his mother's sleeping pills - and Paola is distraught by the news. To the neighbourhood he was just the ╝boy' who helped out, but nobody knew much about him -not even his name. That a soul could have lived such a joyless life is too much for Paola to bear, and she asks Guido if he can find out what happened.
