A stranger lies dead in an apartment near Porto, and Inspector Jaime Ramos takes the case. It sends him round a triangle of Portugal, Brazil and the remembered Angola of the colonial wars, from Manaus and deep Amazonia to São Paulo, Rio and Luanda, after people who vanished without a trace. Having almost nothing to go on, Ramos is forced to imagine their lives himself, while the narrator slips between the Portuguese of Portugal and of Brazil, in a crime novel that bends the rules of its genre.
