Five books, five cities in the Northeast of Brazil, and a reporter who keeps asking after everyone else has stopped. Original investigative fiction written in Brazilian Portuguese, running from B1 to early C1.
Recife, PE
Mariana Salgado is sent from Recife into the interior of Pernambuco to find out what happened to an environmental inspector who vanished a week before he was due to testify. She has his field notebook, a set of coordinates that don't match any official map, and a fisherman who says almost nothing at all. The river holds more than anyone is willing to say out loud.
Fortaleza, CE
Eight months of court reporting have taught Mariana Salgado what a clean file looks like. She is sent to Fortaleza to write about a neighborhood music stage, and the file she ends up reading there is immaculate: every notice served, every deadline met, every signature where it belongs. Two hundred families have left Vila Aurora. She arrives certain she already knows the shape of this story.
