"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

GREAT REMOTE HOLDER BUT BEWARE OF POSSIBLE STRONG PERFUMY SCENT!
Color: Black, Size: Small
This is a very nicely made and attractive remote holder, perfect for my storage and organizational needs. It is a good value for the money. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the small pack that was in the holder to prevent moisture had a very strong perfumy smell that gave me a headache even after I removed it and left it in a place away from me to air out for over a week. I can still smell it, although it seems to be gradually fading. I would have returned it and ordered another but figured I would get the same situation so it would not be worth the trouble.

Good product
Color: Black, Size: Small
So far so good. It has enough spots for remotes, seems to be good quality and works well. Its staggered height of the pockets works great and looks fine on the end table.

finally organized all my jewerly!
Color: Black
This jewelry box completely transformed the way I store and access my accessories. It’s not just functional, it’s genuinely beautiful, with a sleek design that looks great on my dresser. The exterior feels sturdy and well-made, and the interior is soft and luxurious, keeping all my pieces protected and tangle-free.
There’s a perfect place for everything: rings, earrings, necklaces, and even watches or bracelets. I especially love the multiple compartments and drawers, which make it easy to separate everyday items from special pieces. No more digging around or untangling chains!
The mirror inside is a thoughtful touch, and the box itself feels compact enough for smaller spaces while still holding a surprising amount. It’s one of those things that makes daily routines feel a little more put-together.
If you’re looking for a jewelry box that’s practical, elegant, and gift-worthy, this one checks every box. Great for personal use or as a thoughtful present.
