Venetian museum director Francesco Semenzato agreed archaeologist Brett Lynch about Chinese vases exhibited in his Oriental Art museum, but she's beaten up to scare her off, as local colleague and friend Flavia Petrelli confides in commissioner Brunetti. Shortly after, the director's skull is fatally smashed in his office. Brunetti learns that he was suspected of involvement in art fraud and had a dodgy antiques dealership partner. Camera recordings show a man near both crime scenes: Salvatore La Capra, brutish son of sinister businessman Carmello, immigrated from Sicilia. More crime follows, while the city is flooded.
