Synopsis: |
When a strangely disfigured body is found floating in a canal, Commissario Brunetti is convinced he recognises the man from somewhere. His only identification is the distinctive shoes he was wearing. Brunetti soon realises why he remembers the dead man, and asks Signorina Elettra for help in finding footage of a farmer's protest the previous autumn. But what was his involvement with the protest, and what does it have to do with his murder? Brunetti's investigation takes them to a slaughterhouse, where they discover the origin of the crime. |
