Commissario Brunetti's hopes of a refreshing family holiday in the mountains are once again dashed when a gruesome discovery is made in Marghera—a body so badly beaten the face is unrecognisable.

Brunetti searches Venice for someone who can identify the dead man. But he is met with a wall of silence.

Then he receives a telephone call from a contact who promises some tantalising information. And before the night is out Brunetti is confronting yet another appalling and apparently senseless death...

The Anonymous Venetian unfolds as a gripping tale of mystery and intrigue that challenges Brunetti at every turn.
