Cosecharás tempestades

On a cold November night, Guido Brunetti receives a call from his colleague, the ispettore Vianello, alerting him that a hand has been seen in one of Venice's canals. He soon finds the body and Brunetti is assigned to investigate the murder of this undocumented immigrant. Since there is no official record of the man's presence in Venice, he is forced to turn to much richer sources of information in the city: gossip and the memories of people who knew the victim. Curiously, he had been living in a small house in the grounds of a palazzo owned by a university professor, in which Brunetti discovers books that reveal the victim's interest in Buddhism, the revolutionary Tamil Tigers and the latest crop of Italian political terrorists. , active in the eighties. As the investigation deepens, Brunetti, Vianello, Commissioner Griffoni and Signorina Elettra put together pieces of a puzzle that seem to have little in common, until Brunetti stumbles upon something that takes him back to his student days and makes him reflect on the lost ideals and mistakes of youth, about Italian politics and history, and about unexpected events that can sometimes lead to a revelation.
