O Xangô de Baker Street

$7.88

This book is in Portuguese.

A missing Stradivarius violin, some cut ears and their respective corpses bring the famous Sherlock Holmes to Brazil, on the recommendation of his just as famous friend Sarah Bernhardt. However, what appeared to be a small and discreet imperial case turns into a saga full of dangers. Not to mention, of course, the crimes of history’s first serial killer, who executes his sinister plan note by note, with remarkable tuning and cutting precision.

The intrepid British detective and his faithful but very suspicious schoolboy relive in Rio de Janeiro the adventure of Sherlock Holmes that Conan Doyle was excused to tell – for reasons that will be quite obvious – but that for the happiness of the Brazilian reader Jô Soares rescues in this unforgiving novel and priceless.

This book is used and was bought from an international secondhand bookstore. It is in very good condition with minimal signs of wear.

Um violino Stradivarius desaparecido, algumas orelhas cortadas e seus respectivos cadáveres trazem o famoso Sherlock Holmes ao Brasil, por recomendação de sua não menos famosa amiga Sarah Bernhardt. Porém, aquilo que parecia um pequeno e discreto caso imperial transforma-se numa saga cheia de perigos, tais como feijoadas, vatapás, mulatas, intelectuais de botequim, pais-de-santo e cannabis sativa. Sem falar, é claro, dos crimes do primeiro serial killer da história, que executa seu sinistro plano nota a nota, com notável afinação e precisão de corte.

O britânico e intrépido detective e seu fiel e desconfiadíssimo esculápio vivem então no Rio de Janeiro a aventura de Sherlock Holmes que Conan Doyle se excusou de contar – por motivos que ficarão bastante óbvios – mas que para felicidade do leitor brasileiro Jô Soares resgata neste romance implacável e impagável.
