Jacket photograph by David Alan Harvey/Magnum Photos. Jacket design by John Candell. keywords: Mystery Brazil Latin America Translated Literature Rio de Janeiro. FROM THE PUBLISHER-‘IF GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ WROTE CRIME FICTION, HE MIGHT CREATE A DETECTIVE LIKE INSPECTOR ESPINOSA. '-THE BALTIMORE SUN. A sultry December night in Rio de Janeiro. A retired policeman spends a typically alcohol-filled evening with his girlfriend, a prostitute. When he wakes up the next morning, his wallet and car key are missing, his girlfriend has been murdered, and he can remember none of the events of the previous night. Called in to investigate is Inspector Espinosa, veteran detective and friend of the ex-cop. It's a seemingly open-and-shut case, but Espinosa is convinced there's more here than meets the eye, and when other bodies begin turning up, he finds himself not only racing a killer but falling in love. Hailed by critics for ‘his existential sensibility, his exotic beat, and his literary merit' (San Francisco Chronicle), Inspector Espinosa won over American audiences with his debut in THE SILENCE OF THE RAIN. DECEMBER HEAT, the second in this bestselling Brazilian series, shares the first book's steamy evocation of exotic Rio de Janeiro, its singular narrative approach, and, above all, its highly appealing protagonist. And once again, Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza delivers a story as unusual as it is complex, with a resolution sure to elude-and ultimately delight-even the most discerning crime readers. A distinguished academic, LUIZ ALFREDO GARCIA-ROZA is a critically acclaimed, bestselling novelist who lives in Rio de Janeiro. The first book in his crime series, THE SILENCE OF THE RAIN, was published in 2002 by Henry Holt; the third will be published in 2004. inventory #34266.
