Recommended by bookseller Camille Van de Velde:

"Polícia Civil detective Mario Leme is trying to find out whether his wife was really killed by a stray bullet or if she was murdered. When the murder of a rich young man in the favelas is covered up and presented as an accident, Leme starts to find connections between the two deaths. Setting his atmospheric crime novel in modern day Sao Paulo between glossy building developments and the favela of Paraisopolis, Joe Thomas transports the reader into a world of corruption, murder, drugs and real estate deals."
