2022: A Brazilian thriller about a kidnapped sex worker and her sister
Lucinda has lived her whole life in the shadow of her glamorous and outgoing high-end model sister Viviana. But when Viviana suddenly disappears on a trip to São Paulo, Lucinda drops everything to track her down.
Met with indifference from the police, Lucinda joins forces with Viviana’s girlfriend Graziane to launch her own investigation. When she discovers that her sister had a thriving career as a sex worker, the list of possible suspects widens.
Then a cryptic text suggests that Viviana is still alive but being held hostage. With the minutes ticking by, Lucinda and Graziane must track down the men from Viviana’s past to discover who might want to do her harm.
This book shows you around the city of Sao Paulo but this is no view that the tourist board would be interested in doing. You see the streets, the slums and all the areas in between through the eyes of a panicked girl looking for her missing sister.
The streets, slums, parks and cafes become areas of doubt and you are following the shadows of a sad and tragic story around anonymous streets. You fear for her as you read as you are not sure what is to become of her.
