Summary: A master-piece of one of the greatest brazilian writers
Comment: If you want to know the "high art" of Rubem Fonseca, you should read this novel first. The master of short stories is in your best shape telling the story of the lawyer/ detective Mandrake that's initially hired to find out a VCR tape and finishes to get involved with a serial killer that mark the "P" letter in the face of your victims and with a international criminal organization with headquarters in the city of Rio de Janeiro
