    Product Description

    3rd April 1960 - An unidentified body is found on a lonely beach (male, height 1.72 m., well-nourished, age about 50). Shreds of clothing not far away torn by dogs (no bruising, bullet hole in vault of skull, no indications of homosexuality). The deceased by all accounts had been mad about dogs (shoes reversed, right shoe on left foot, left shoe on right: the signature of a political killing).
    This gripping, erotic, fast-paced, highly-intelligent thriller is based on a true story of political intrigue in Salazar's Portugal. Step-by- step, Inspector Elias builds up his reconstruction of the events leading to the discovery of the body on the beach; interweaving his own fantasies, suppositions and - eventually - solution.
