  In the thirty-third installment of Donna Leon’s magnificent series, Commissario Guido Brunetti confronts apresent-day Venetian menace and the ghosts of a heroism that never wasAround one AM on an early spring morning, two teenage gangs are arrested after clashing violently in one ofVenice’s squares. Commissario Claudia Griffoni, on duty that night, perhaps ill-advisedly walks the last of theboys home because his father, Dario Monforte, failed to pick him up at the Questura. Coincidentally, GuidoBrunetti is asked by a wealthy friend of Vice-Questore Patta to vet Monforte for a job, triggering Brunetti’smemory that twenty years earlier Monforte had been publicly celebrated as the hero of a devastating bombingof the Italian military compound in Iraq. Yet Monforte had never been awarded a medal either by the Carabinieri,his service branch, or by the Italian government.That seeming contradiction, and the brutal attack on one of Brunetti’s colleagues, Enzo Bocchese, by a possiblegang member, concentrate Brunetti’s attentions. Surprisingly empowered by Patta, supported by SignorinaElettra’s extraordinary research abilities and by his wife, Paola’s, empathy, Brunetti, with Griffoni, graduallydiscovers the sordid hypocrisy surrounding Monforte’s past, culminating in a fiery meeting of two gangs and afinal opportunity for redemption.A Refiner’s Fire is Donna Leon at her very best: an elegant, sophisticated storyteller whose indelible charactersbecome richer with each book, and who constantly explores the ambiguity between moral and legal justice.
