{"product_id":"9780099536659","title":"Uniform Justice by Donna Leon","description":"Complex and thought-provoking and lingers in the mind' Sunday TimesNeither Commissario Brunetti nor his wife Paola have ever had much sympathy for the Italian armed forces, so when a young cadet is found hanged, at Venice's elite military academy, Brunetti's emotions are complex: pity and sorrow at the death of a boy close in age to his own son, and contempt and irritation for the arrogance and high-handedness of the boy's teachers and fellow students.   The young man is the son of an ex-politician, a man of an impeccable integrity all too rare in Italian politics. But as Brunetti - and the indispensable Signorina Elettra - investigate further, no one seems willing to talk. Is this the natural reluctance of Italians to involve themselves with the authorities, or is Brunetti facing a conspiracy of silence?'Silken prose and considerable charm . . . an unlovely story set in the loveliest of cities' Washington Post\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43201429602482,"sku":"9780099536659","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9780099536659.jpg?v=1705430819","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780099536659","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
