The Silence of the Rain by Luiz Alfredo Garcia Roza
The first in a stunning new literary crime series featuring Detective Espinoza of the Rio de Janeiro Police Department.A handsome young businessman is found dead in downtown Rio, a suicide who left no note, who had everything to live for. But by the time the police are called, all traces of the man's identity and the weapon have been removed. Then as Detective Espinosa discovers that the man moved in the upper echelons of Rio society, and meets his beguiling and remarkable wife, clues to the way he lived and how he died lead Espinosa tantalisingly close to the truth. But is he on the right track?
