TOD IN PORTO

Vinho Verde and red blood in the streets of Porto

Porto in hot midsummer: Inspector Fonseca's team is enjoying the end of a hard working day with a glass of iced Vino Verde, looking forward to a well deserved holiday, when a man is shot dead in front of a discotheque. The holiday dream shattered, it's back to work for everyone!
The victim is a Brazilian who has been living in Portugal for years. Was he really just a successful real estate agent? Or was he involved in the dark business of the Brazilian Mafia up to his neck?
The dimensions of the case become clearer when a video turns up, showing a tongue and a pair of ears nailed to a wooden door. A threat against informers. But who are the criminals? What are their next steps?
Fonseca and his team, the young and ambitious Ana Cristina and her counterpart Rui Pinto, are immersed in a complex investigation that leads them deeper and deeper into the Brazilian underworld, a nightmare of violence, organized crime and corruption that belies the quaint setting of Portugal's “secret capital”
DEATH IN PORTO is the second novel in the crime series set in the picturesque harbour town at the Portuguese Atlantic coast. In the first one, Barco Negro, Inspector Fonseca's newly assembled team is confronted with a double murder that pushes them to their limits.
