A Luz de Pequim

In a Porto remade by tourism, a corpse dangles from the piers of the Dom Luís I bridge, while a woman's body is left in the hills above the Douro, stirring memories of earlier killings in the city's nightlife. The two deaths look unrelated but prove to be linked, which hardly surprises Inspector Jaime Ramos. At the same time he must face his own past as a Communist Party activist, an investigation into his conduct on the force, a puzzling favour asked by someone he has known for years and the hunt for a man who has disappeared, a trail that leads him through the Minho and the Douro and on to Beijing.
