Description
A celebrated novelist, Gustavo Flávio, watches his carefully constructed life unravel when he becomes the chief suspect in the murder of a millionaire’s wife. As he tries to piece together the truth, the investigation collides with his craft—forcing him to confront how stories are made, how suspicion spreads, and how easily moral compromises can masquerade as art. Blending noir momentum with psychological pressure, the novel turns the act of writing into a battleground where power, obsession, and urban corruption leave lasting marks. With Rubem Fonseca’s famously unsentimental, razor-sharp prose, this is a dark meditation on authorship, guilt, and the uneasy boundary between fiction and reality.
