Synopsis

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.
Disponible depuis: 03/11/2023.
Longueur d'impression: 855 pages.

    I'm stunned to learn my family's “inheritance” is servitude to an ancient, arrogant vampire. No thanks! Except now my friend might be his next meal, so I cut a deal: I’ll work for him—if he only drains the serial killers we catch. 
    I met my father exactly once—at a café in Transylvania. He went by the name "Renfield," scribbled in strange ledgers and muttered weirdly about “the master.” 
    Years later, I’m summoned to a remote castle in the Carpathian Mountains. Supposedly my father has left an inheritance.   
    What could go wrong? 
    Try everything. My “inheritance” turns out to be a new career—or should I say forced servitude: I'm to take over for my father as the next in a long line of servants to an arrogant, centuries-old vampire named Alexandru. 
    Hard pass. 
    Except Alexandru doesn’t take no for an answer. He follows me home to Ohio, where people I love are looking like dinner to him. To save them, I cut a deal: I’ll manage his vampire affairs—if he only feeds on people who deserve it.  
    Serial killers, to be exact. 
    Now my spreadsheets and his hunting skills have one goal: catch murderers before Alexandru loses control. 
    But surviving the killer might be the easy part, because even though Alexandru is a monster who sees humans as livestock, nothing in my life has prepared me for his dark magnetism...

    🦃 Turkey farmer and heritage breed expert Tom Gobbler is preparing for the town's annual "Turkey Amnesty" charity event when the event's wealthy organizer—a notorious philanthropist with questionable motives—is found dead in the barn, partially stuffed inside a massive heritage turkey. The police suspect a bizarre farming accident, but Tom notices the turkey has been deliberately over-stuffed and the victim's charity records contain coded entries about fund misappropriation. With his farm's reputation on the line and Thanksgiving charity distributions in jeopardy, Tom must pluck through the evidence to uncover the truth. Assisted by his farmhands and the handsome agricultural auditor analyzing financial records, Tom uncovers a scheme involving charity fraud, turkey substitution, and a plot to exploit small farmers. From suspicious giblet packages that reveal bird switching to feeding records that don't match breed standards, every feather tells a story. But when Tom discovers the victim was systematically replacing heritage turkeys with commercial birds while charging premium prices, he realizes the killer is protecting charitable giving more meaningful than any tax deduction. With the charity event approaching and hungry families counting on Thanksgiving meals, Tom must truss up the evidence before his farm gets permanently basted in scandal.
