Death at the Book Festival

A new Inspector Joaquim Dornelas adventure. The Palmyra International Book Festival, one of the most charming literary events in the world, is about to begin. At this tenth edition of the Festival, and with the city jam-packed, Inspector Joaquim Dornelas is split between feeling happy and worried. To him, the more people and celebrating there was meant the greater the chance for trouble. And of course, the unexpected happens, moments before the inaugural show. Dornelas is faced with a scene that puts him and his team in a state of high alert. A crime is committed in the middle of the night. Pressured by his boss and by the press in this new and delectable adventure, Dornelas finds himself involved in a complex network of facts and intrigue that attempt to detour the investigation and confuse the police. Excited with his friends-with-benefits relationship with Dulce Neves, with his shots of cachaça rum, with his ability to be a father from a distance, and with his baby cereal porridge, Inspector Joaquim Dornelas once again uses his keen intuition and incredible police instincts to solve yet another complicated crime.
