Bei der Renovierung eines Hauses am Fuß der Dolomiten wird die Leiche eines jungen Mannes gefunden. Das Wappen seines Ringes führt zu dem ebenso einflußreichen wie wohlhabenden venezianischen Geschlecht der Lorenzoni. Der Sohn der Familie wurde vor langer Zeit entführt und ist seither vermisst. Damals wollte der Vater das geforderte Lösegeld zahlen, doch die Entführer hatten sich in Luft aufgelöst. Commissario Brunetti gräbt die Akte von damals wieder aus.
Kurzbeschreibung:
The seventh installment in the award-winning Brunetti series by crime fiction writer Donna Leon, where the Venetian police Commissario must unearth the roots of a brutal murder.
Klappentext:
'Goes a long way to confirming Donna Leon's claim to have taken literary possession of Venice ... A Noble Radiance gives the reader a delightful foretaste of the summer holidays to come, but it also offers much more than that.' Independent on Sunday

In a small village at the foot of the Italian Dolomites, the gardens of a deserted farmhouse have lain untouched for decades. But the new owner, keen for renovations to begin, is summoned urgently to the house when his workmen disturb a macabre grave.
Wild animals have done their grisly work and the human corpse is badly decomposed. Then a valuable signet ring is found close by, providing the first vital clue. It leads Commissario Guido Brunetti right to the heart of aristocratic Venice, to a family still grieving for its abducted son ...
