Die Calli, Campi und Caffès, die Brunetti frequentiert, zu Touren verbunden: Zwölf von Toni Sepeda entwickelte und erprobte Spaziergänge und ein Ausflug in die Lagune erschließen die Welt des Commissario. Und der kennt Venedig wie kein anderer: Reich und Arm, heute und früher, bei Tag und bei Nacht.
