Fascinating...seductive." --"The New York Times Book Review"
Chief of the Copacabana precinct Espinosa is more than happy to
interrupt his paperwork when a terrified young man arrives at the
station with a bizarre story. A psychic has predicted that he would
commit a murder, it seems, and the prediction has become fact in
the young man's mind. As the weather changes and the southwesterly
wind -- always a sign of dramatic change -- starts up, what at
first seems like paranoia becomes brutal reality. Two violent
murders occur, and their only link is the lonely, clever man who
had sought Espinosa out a few days earlier for help.
In "Southwesterly Wind," the third in this atmospheric, erotic
series featuring the inimitable Inspector Espinosa, Luiz Alfredo
Garcia-Roza once again "breathes fresh air into the crime novel
genre." ("Los Angeles Times")
"Beautifully sad and seductive."--"Chicago Tribune"
"Beguiling and ingenious."--"Kirkus Reviews"
"One of the pleasures of reading Garcia-Roza derives from watching
how he thwarts our narrative experiences. Throughout "Southwesterly
Wind," he shuffles and reshuffles a limited deck of secondary
characters to assemble startling patterns. [A] wry and poetic
voice."
--Maureen Corrigan, "Newsday"
Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza is a bestselling novelist who lives in Rio
