Nobody saw Vítor Caldas fall. His body turned up at the Outeirinhos pier in Santos, with the official story already written: an accident. Lara Voss, a former Portuguese police inspector newly arrived in Brazil, notices what no one else did — drag marks no accident ever leaves. The widow hires her before the police even finish clearing the scene.

VOL. 2 Cover of Echoes in the Megastore

Echoes in the Megastore: Detective Mystery (Lara Voss #2)

The restricted stockroom camera was wiped — almost entirely. One frame survived: Tiago Furtado carrying a box addressed to a client that doesn't exist. Hours later, he vanishes. Detective Lara Voss is brought in by the wholesaler's security manager before the trail goes cold — and before whoever erased the footage realizes what they missed.

VOL. 4 Cover of Under the Airport Glass

Under the Airport Glass: Detective Mystery (Antonia Reis #4)

Twenty-two years after a man vanished the night he was set to board an international flight, the renovation of a sealed cargo warehouse at Guarulhos Airport uncovers a suitcase that shouldn't be there. The daughter who grew up hearing her father was a coward hires private detective Antônia Reis to prove what she always knew by instinct: he never ran from anyone.

VOL. 3 Cover of The Last Train Before Dawn

The Last Train Before Dawn: Detective Mystery (Lara Voss #3)

The train arrived at the terminal. The engineer didn't. Hélio Carmo was driving the last run of Line 7 when he vanished without a conventional trace — no passenger on record, no witness, just a wristwatch with its strap cut, not broken. The rail company hires Lara Voss before the press finds out, but what she uncovers on the tracks runs far deeper than one missing man.
