The latest installment of Akashic s geographically wide-ranging mystery series lands in Rio de Janeiro, a city whose famous imagery–the massive statue of Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf mountain, the beautiful beaches–constitutes the public face of the city, but behind lurks a world of shadows, blood, intrigue, violence, hideouts, and mystery …A good introduction to writers of the region and to the dark side of a very sunny place.
