Description for BLOOD FROM A STONE by Donna Leon: Shortly before Christmas a man is killed in Venice's Campo Santo Stefano. An illegal immigrant from Senegal, he is one of the vu c umpra who sells fake fashion accessories while trying to stay ahead of the law. At first the crime seems like a simple clash between rival vendors, but as Commissario Guido Brunetti probes more deeply, he begins to suspect that the murder was the work of a professional. And why does his boss want him off the case? A compelling portrait of Venice's immigrant society and a riveting tale of suspense, Blood from a Stone is a welcome addition to Donna Leon's bestselling mystery series.
