It's a question Commissario Guido Brunetti must face and ultimately answer in \u003ci\u003eGive unto Others\u003c\/i\u003e, Donna Leon's splendid thirty-first installment of her acclaimed Venetian crime series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrunetti is approached for a favor by Elisabetta Foscarini, a woman he knows casually, but her mother was good to Brunetti's mother, so he feels obliged to at least look into the matter privately, and not as official police business. Foscarini's son-in-law, Enrico Fenzo, has alarmed his wife (her daughter) by confessing their family might be in danger because of something he's involved with. Since Fenzo is an accountant, Brunetti logically suspects the cause of danger is related to the finances of a client. Yet his clients seem benign: an optician, a restaurateur, a charity established by his father-in-law. However, when his friend's daughter's place of work is vandalized, Brunetti asks his own favors--that his colleagues Claudia Griffoni, Lorenzo Vianello, and Signorina Elettra Zorzi assist his private investigation, which soon enough turns official as they uncover the dark and Janus-faced nature of a venerable Italian institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring the wobbly line between the criminal and non-criminal, revealing previously untold elements of Brunetti's past, \u003ci\u003eGive unto Others \u003c\/i\u003eshows that the price of reciprocity can be steep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDonna Leon\u003c\/strong\u003e, born in New Jersey in 1942, has worked as a travel guide in Rome and as a copywriter in London.
