The Body Snatcher by Patricia Melo
A dead pilot and a kilo of cocaine are found by our hero in the wreck of a small plane. Pressured by a Bolivian drug gang our man agrees to give up the body of the pilot to his family for serious money. Only he doesn't have the body so someone else's will have to do. Or so he thinks.
Praise for The Body Snatcher: "An excellent and atypical book, a fantastic adventure"--Huffington Post Canada "An explosive mixture of dread, greed and corruption. You won't put it down until you've read the very last page."--Cosmopolitan Brazil Praise for Patricia Melo': 'Melo (The Killer and In Praise of Lies) is a promising literary crime novelist, one of a new crop of Brazilian suspense writers that includes Rubem Fonseca. Melo keeps the tale oscillating between morbid intrigue and hilarity, deftly skewering the publishing industry in the process' PW 'The jolts that this Brazilian thriller delivers (The Killer) come not from the repeated instances of gore but from Maiquel's recurrent longing for basic human needs--love, salvation, a spiffy pair of shoes.' New Yorker
