A Question Of Belief (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

In A Question of Belief, Commissario Brunetti must contend with ingenious corruption, bureaucratic intransigence, and the stifling heat of a Venetian summer. With his hometown beset by hordes of tourists and baking under a glaring sun, Brunetti’s greatest wish is to go to the mountains with his family, where he can sleep under a down comforter and catch up on his reading. But before he can go on vacation, a folder with court records has landed on his desk, brought by an old friend. It appears that cases at the local court—hardly known as a model of efficiency—are being delayed to the benefit of one of the parties. A creative new trick for corrupting the system, perhaps, but what can Brunetti do about it? And just when it looks like Brunetti will be able to get away, a shocking, violent crime forces him to stay in Venice. A Question of Belief is a mystery taking place in steamy summer Venice, dealing with corrupt Judges, bankers and fortune telling charlatans that take advantage of gullible elderly citizens. A murder is involved and the crimes are solved, but the guilty are not punished due to "lack of evidence" and the fortune teller fled to take advantage of others in a new location. Commissario Brunetti goes back to his vacation in Alto Adige, part of the the Italian alps. I enjoy the series for the gentle pace and the locale of central Venice and the somewhat cynical view of justice.
