Commissario Brunetti is on medical leave at the island of Sant' Erasmo, a small fishing community where there are no secrets. No, this this isn't the customary setting for Brunetti but he is suffering from burnout and is recovering in a house belonging to a wealthy relative of Paola. His investigation concerns the disappearance of bees, poisoning of the lagoon and, of course, murder.

He comes to know David Casati, caretaker of the house, who goes missing during a storm. As one might guess, Casati has been murdered. His friendship with Casati prompts him to investigate what happened and the novel proceeds in that direction.

Using the theme of climate change vs. corporate interests the author finds Brunetti weighing the effects on humanity and the ethics of actions of both past and present as he delves into Casati's death. It's an interesting novel that makes one wonder where Brunetti's conscience will lead him in solving the murder of his friend.
