Suspense
This tightly plotted novel by Brazil's best-selling crime
author is a tale of drug dealing gone wrong, police
corruption, and macabre blackmail, set in a heat-soaked town
in the vast untamed Brazilian lowlands bordering Bolivia.
One bright Sunday, alone on the banks of the Paraguay River,
the narrator witnesses the fatal crash of a small plane. He
finds a kilo of cocaine in the dead pilot's backpack and
pockets it along with the pilot's expensive watch. Thus
begins the protagonist's long slide into corruption. When police locate the crash site, the pilot's body is
missing and a large-scale search ensues. Our hero, now
involved in a busted cocaine deal, ends up owing a Bolivian
drug gang so much money that blackmailing the wealthy family
of the dead pilot seems to be the only way out. When the
family secretly agrees to pay serious money to recover the
body of their son, our hero, who does not have the pilot's
body, decides someone else's will do. . . . Or so he thinks.
