Death in Venice
If you're in need of a Spring Break read with a counterfeit chic theme, check out Donna Leon's Blood from a Stone. Her perennial protagonist, Venetian police detective Guido Brunetti, is called in to investigate the murder of an immigrant Senegalese street vendor. Instead of finding little more than a cache of fake handbags among the dead man's few belongings, however, the search turns up a fortune in uncut conflict diamonds. Complications ensue.
