"Romance de um dos mais aclamados autores da literatura brasileira. A conclusão do Compêndio mítico do Rio de Janeiro. Na calada da noite, na hoje chamada Rua da Carioca, um homem de casaca, pistola na mão, ameaça outro com capa à espanhola e botas de cano longo. Atracam-se. A arma dispara. O de casaca cai ferido mortalmente. Há uma testemunha, cigana, que também tem lá suas culpas. Entre os crimes que perpassam este romance policial situado no Rio de Janeiro do século 18, apenas um é de fato relevante; apenas um resume e simboliza o livro. E, contraditoriamente, é o único crime que não acontece. Alberto Mussa opera com perícia a narrativa, conversando com o leitor e palpitando sobre os dilemas dos personagens sem abandonar o posto de narrador, ancorado em pesquisa do vocabulário da época, do contexto, das ruas do Rio, do tráfico de escravos, do contrabando de ouro e da ação inquisitorial, sempre com uma técnica primorosa."

In the dead of night, in what is now Rua da Carioca, a man in a coat, a pistol in his hand, threatens another with a Spanish cape and long boots. They get bogged down. The gun fires. The one in the coat falls mortally wounded. There is a witness, Gypsy, who also has her faults there. Among the crimes that pervade this police novel located in Rio de Janeiro of the 18th century, only one is in fact relevant; only one sums up and symbolizes the book. And, contradictorily, it is the only crime that does not happen. Alberto Mussa expertly works on the narrative, talking to the reader and palpitating about the dilemmas of the characters without abandoning the post of narrator, anchored in research of the vocabulary of the time, the context, the streets of Rio, the slave trade, the smuggling of gold and inquisitorial action, always with an exquisite technique.
