    Donna Leon's Venice-based mysteries featuring Commissario Guido Brunetti are international bestsellers, winning awards including the CWA Macallan Silver Dagger for Fiction, and inspiring specially guided ''Brunetti tours'' of the city. The Boston Globe writes of the series, ''[Leon] deals as much with social issues and the idea of family as with the central crime... It is this contrast, and Leon's subtly lyrical evocation of it, as much as the food or the central mystery that makes her books irresistible.'' About Face is the much-anticipated 18th novel in the series.
