The Ways of Evil Men
(2014)(The seventh book in the Chief Inspector Mario Silva series)
A novel by Leighton Gage
A Brazilian detective hunts a killer in the rain forest: "The Silva investigations have all the step-by-step excitement of a world-class procedural series" (The Wall Street Journal).
As Chief Inspector Mario Silva has learned, justice is hard to come by in Brazil, so when his niece tells him about a possible genocide deep in the jungle, he agrees to round up his team and charter a plane to Para to check it out.
Thirty-nine natives have recently dropped dead of mysterious causes. Given the tense relationship between the Awana tribe and the white townsfolk nearby, Para's sole government-sponsored advocate for the native population, Jade Calmon, immediately suspects foul play and takes the two remaining Awana - a father and his eight-year-old son - into her custody. But when the father is discovered holding a bloody machete next to the body of a village big shot, just before Silva's arrival, the plot thickens. Why would a peaceful man who doesn't believe in alcohol turn into a drunken killer?
Genre: Mystery
