Summer of 1870. Two writers, Eça and Ramalho. Ramalho is kidnapped. The challenge is set: to co-write a crime story for the News Diary. But is the fiction they’re creating actually based on a real case? This question fuels the conflict between the two authors, drawing them into a near-deadly duel set between Sintra and Malta.
Their serial novel grows, and with it, so do threats, duels, sex, and intrigue. Lisbon is in turmoil. Everyone feels connected to the betrayed count. Crimes pile up in a tale where love defies tradition, deception eludes the obvious, and everything moves at breakneck speed, like a game.
The Mystery of Sintra Road challenges all conventions with its sharp critique of the customs of romantic 19th-century Portuguese society.
