| Publisher Description: The first book in Leighton Gage's critically acclaimed police procedural series set in Brazil, now available in paperback at the special introductory price of $9.99 Chief Inspector Mario Silva of Brazil's Federal Police is a good cop in a bad system--Brazil's justice system is rife with corruption, and constantly a beat behind criminal elements. But Silva and his team of colorful sidekicks--baby-faced Gon alves, who is irresistible to lady witnesses; chubby, crass Nu es; Mara Carta, the chief of intelligence with a soft spot for Mario--crack their difficult and sometimes ugly cases with pizazz. In the interior of Brazil, landless workers battle the owners of vast fazendas. When a visiting archbishop is assassinated, Mario Silva is called upon to investigate. Then a newspaper owner, a TV journalist, a landowner's son, and a priest are brutally killed. In a country where dead street kids are known as hams, justice is scarce. |
