"Commissario Guido Brunetti's fourteenth case may be his best yet." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) On a cold Venetian night shortly before Christmas, a street vendor is killed in a scuffle in Campo San Stefano. The closest witnesses to the event are the tourists who had been browsing the fake designer handbags that the man was selling. The dead man is one of the many African immigrants purveying goods outside normal shop hours and trading without a work permit. Like everybody involved, Commissario Brunetti wonders why anyone would kill an illegal immigrant. But once Brunetti begins to investigate this unfamiliar Venetian underworld, he discovers that matters of great value are at stake within the secretive society. Warned by Patta, his superior, to resist further involvement in the case, Brunetti only becomes more determined to unearth the truth behind this mysterious killing. Reluctant as he is to let this event be smugly relegated to the category of "not worth dealing with," how far will Brunetti be able to penetrate the murky subculture in this illegal community? Blood from a Stone is an exquisite and irresistible mystery offering an unexpected take on life in contemporary Venice. "A subtle and sophisticated mystery"-New York Times "Stunning... Leon combines an engrossing, complex plot with an indictment fo the corruption endemic in Italian society." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Richly atmospheric, Leon introduces you to the Venice insiders know." -USA Today "The evocative Venitian setting and the warmth and humanity of the Brunetti family add considerable pleasure to this nuanced, intelligent mystery; another winner from Venice-based Leon. Highly recommended" -Library Journal (starred review)Binding Type: Paperback

Adorable, Durable, and Dog-Approved!
Size: Medium, Style: Sour Pooch, Size: Medium, Style: Sour Pooch
My dog loves the Sour Pooch dog toy—so much that it’s quickly become one of his favorites! What really surprised me is how durable it is. He’s usually quick to tear toys apart, but this one has held up incredibly well, making it one of the few survivors in his toy box.
The toy is super cute, lightweight, and just an all-around fun addition to his collection. It’s been a joy watching him carry it around and play with it daily. I’d definitely purchase again and highly recommend it to other dog lovers looking for a toy that can handle a bit of rough love.

Squeaky and colorful
Size: Small, Style: Skit-Tails
Cute toy. Lots of squeaks. Probably best for a mid sized dog mouth— a chihuahua or Pomeranian might find it a little thick to manage.

“Candy” dog toy
Size: Small, Style: Mutts & Mongrels
Great toy! I like the toy because it’s durable & it has no appendages to for the dogs to chew off. It will be destroyed at some point but I won’t have to start picking up stuffing for a long time.
