A Small Death in Lisbon

1941. A Berlin factory owner, forced into the SS, has arrived in Lisbon. His mission: infiltrate the bleak mountains of the north where an insidious battle rages over an element vital to Hitler's blitzkrieg. The first seed of greed and revenge has been planted....

Late 1990s. Inspector Ze Coelho has been recruited to investigate the sex murder of a teenage girl in Lisbon. The inquiry will take Coelho back across a bloody swath of history to the scene of an older crime buried among the bones of a fascist past--and to a chilling motive buried even deeper. And once unearthed, past and the present will converge with chilling implication and unfathomable consequences.
