All of Donna Leon's books are rich with colors and textures of contemporary Venice, including the amazing aromas of elegant sauces and tangy citrus. Death at La Fenice was her very first, with an introduction to Guido Brunetti, a deep and compassionate police detective.
Cerebral detectives with an undercurrent of emotion can be fascinating, and Leon’s Guido Brunetti is one of the best. Like Le Carre’s George Smiley, Brunetti is likable, thoughtful, introspective, and slightly lethargic. While Smiley is distant, Brunetti’s emotions are often on display, in a good way. Add the rich and complex history of Venice, and a startling performance at Teatro La Fenice, and Leon’s first novel, published in 1992, is a wonderful debut.

Two fictional senators, a wise and well read Republican and a young and equally wise Democrat — clearly fictional in this era of unwise and unprincipled politicos — work together to confront a vain, arrogant, and unprincipled president who governs within the shield of immunity.
This president is quite familiar, and while he has been granted immunity by the Supreme Court, his greatest vulnerability lies within unmistakable decisions of our founding fathers over 250 years ago. Author Buffa is a former practicing attorney, political aide, college professor, and expert in classics and philosophy, so the his story presents more than an exciting legal thriller. It provides an outline that could well contribute to the preservation of our democracy.
The President of the United States has ordered the murder of his political opponents—and the Constitution seems powerless to stop him.Federal investigators hesitate. Prosecutors are paralyzed by unanswered questions about presidential immunity. Congress is deadlocked, and impeachment would require weeks of investigation, a House vote, and a Senate trial while the nation teeters on the edge of a constitutional crisis.Then a United States senator helps uncover a nearly forgotten constitutional debate that points to an extraordinary—and entirely lawful—means of ending a presidency without waiting for impeachment to run its course.As political allies mobilize, extremists prepare to descend on Washington, and…
