March 2016: Brazil is divided. A campaign for the impeachment of
President Dilma Rousseff is in full swing, yet 100,00 people take
to Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo in her support. On the same day, a
young man from a wealthy family - a playboy - is murdered.
Detective Mario Leme discovers the body. Two Military Policemen
confront him. They strongarm him into the back of an SUV. Set
against the backdrop of the biggest political corruption scandal in
Brazilian history, Playboy is the story of Leme's attempt to clear
his name, and find the young man's killer. Leme's investigation
runs right through Sao Paulo society, from the bottom, to the very
top - and has implications far beyond. And the fight to prove his
innocence might just cost Leme his life. A stylish, taut, and
atmospheric novel in the hardboiled tradition of American noir,
Playboy is a thrilling examination of the seething, violent street
life of Sao Paulo - and the political convulsions of contemporary
Brazil.
