About this person

Donna Leon is the American author of a series of crime novels set in Venice, Italy, featuring the fictional hero Commissario Guido Brunetti. The novels are written in English and have been translated into many foreign languages, although - at Leon's request - not into Italian, as she formerly lived there, still visits monthly, and prefers not to have recognition in the country.
