Beastly Things by Donna Leon
When a body is found floating in a canal, strangely disfigured and with multiple stab wounds, Commissario Brunetti is called to investigate and is convinced he recognises the man from somewhere.

Donna Leon’s elegant and compelling crime novels enjoy great success throughout the world. On the surface, this is another entry in a reliable long-running series. But it's also an oblique addressing of some complex issues with typical intelligence and perception. -- Barry Forshaw * The Good Book Guide *
Beastly Things is a perfect accompaniment to a hot day and a cool glass of white wine. Superb. * Crimesquad *
