Márcio Guerra: half private detective, half vigilante,
100% scoundrel.
Solving pulp cases behind the wheel of his Chevette and with a thirty-eight on his waist, in a time without cell phones, without computers and without political correctness.
Synopsis
Revisit 17 cases of private
detective Márcio Guerra, set sometime in the 1980s. Little by little,
get to know the former civil police officer, who left his badge behind
for reasons that vary depending on who you ask.
Appreciate his
refined investigation method: boot's soles, saliva, wet palms, beatings
and lead, not necessarily to solve the case, if there is money in the
game, or harsh, harsh justice to be applied.
Put yourself in the
passenger seat of Guerra's beige Chevette, and follow him through each
of the most important mysteries of his career, from the moment the
client walks through the door until its outcome--however heinous it may
be.
Eduardo Capistrano's third book looks for inspiration at police stories of pulp magazines, not only in content but also in presentation, each self-contained and sufficient by itself, as it was published in serialized form in a mystery magazine.
