Summary

Márcio Guerra: half private detective, half vigilante, 100% scoundrel.
Solving pulp cases behind the wheel of his Chevette and with a "thirty-eight" on his waist, in a time without cell phones, without computers and without "political correctness".
Revisit 17 cases of private detective Márcio Guerra, set sometime in the 1980s. Little by little, get to know the former civil police officer, who left his badge behind for reasons that vary depending on who you ask.
Appreciate his refined investigation method: boot's soles, saliva, wet palms, beatings and lead, not necessarily to solve the case, if there is money in the game, or harsh, harsh justice to be applied.
Put yourself in the passenger seat of Guerra's beige Chevette, and follow him through each of the most important mysteries of his career, from the moment the client walks through the door until its outcome--however heinous it may be.
Eduardo Capistrano's third book seeks inspiration from detective stories of pulp magazines, not only in content but also in presentation, each one unfolding sufficiently in itself, as if it were published in issues of a periodical.
Available since: 11/03/2023.
Print length: 855 pages.

    STANDING IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH - THE SWORD OF DAMASCUS 
BOOK 3 OF 3 IN THE DEMON GORGE TRILOGY – THE FINALE 
Gideon couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He was spellbound and awe-stricken. 
The apparition glided nearer and nearer. The detective could now see clearly that the spirit was carrying in her arms an actual baby child, alive and well, one that was as beautiful as one of the cherubim of heaven with a yellow halo of light encircling its form. It was only the light that illuminated the woman’s form. 
Gideon remained frozen, not moving a limb of his body. 
The apparition glided over to the dry well. Then, with her back to Gideon, the baby clasped to her chest, and her head bent over the edge of the well, she looked down into the deep, dark shaft below her. 
“Oh, my God,” Gideon whispered, “by all that is Holy!” cried the detective. “By the power of the Holy Spirit, be it ghost or flesh and blood, I will not allow her to throw that child into the well!” 
And with that said, he began running up to the well where the woman or spirit stood, ready to kill another child. Finally, he got there where the radiant form of the woman with the baby in her hands and her eyes fixed on the depths of the well in front of her! 
Gideon reached her, intending to seize her from behind and whirl her with the child from the brink of the dry well. But ---.”
