Suffer the little children
(Book)

Summoned in the middle of the night to the hospital bed of a senior pediatrician, Commissario Guido Brunetti is confronted with more questions than answers. Three men had burst into the doctor's apartment while his family was sleeping and kidnapped his eighteenth-month old son. What could have motivated an attack so violent that it has left the doctor mute? And could this crime be related to the money-making scam run by pharmacists that Brunetti's colleague has recently uncovered? As Brunetti delves deeper into the case, a story of infertility, desperation and illegal dealings begins to unfold.
