Brunetti is compelled to confront the cost of loyalty, both in his personal history and professional life, as an apparently innocuous request leads him into troubling territory.

What role can or should loyalty play in the life of a police inspector? This is a question that Commissario Guido Brunetti must confront and ultimately answer in Give unto Others, the splendid thirty-first installment of Donna Leon's acclaimed Venetian crime series.

Brunetti is approached by Elisabetta Foscarini, an acquaintance, who asks for a favor. Although their connection is casual, Foscarini's mother was kind to Brunetti's own mother, so he feels obligated to look into the matter privately, rather than in his official capacity as a police officer. Foscarini's son-in-law, Enrico Fenzo, has alarmed his wife by confessing that their family may be in danger due to his involvement in something. Given that Fenzo is an accountant, Brunetti logically suspects that the danger is related to the finances of a client. However, Fenzo's clients appear harmless: an optician, a restaurateur, and a charity established by his father-in-law. Nevertheless, when Brunetti's friend's daughter's workplace is vandalized, he seeks the assistance of his colleagues Claudia Griffoni, Lorenzo Vianello, and Signorina Elettra Zorzi in his private investigation. Soon enough, their efforts become official as they uncover the treacherous and deceitful nature of a revered Italian institution.

By exploring the precarious line between criminal and non-criminal activities and revealing previously undisclosed aspects of Brunetti's past, Give unto Others illuminates the steep price of reciprocity.
