Books by Luis Fernando Verissimo

A satirical crime adventure from Brazil's best-loved comic novelist.

Vogelstein is a loner who has always lived among books. Suddenly, fate grabs hold of his insignificant life and carries him off to Buenos Aires, to a conference on Edgar Allan Poe, the inventor of the modern detective story. There Vogelstein meets his idol, and finds himself at the centre of a murder investigation that involves arcane demons.
