The Body Snatcher

Praise for The Body Snatcher:
'An excellent and atypical book, a fantastic adventure.'--Huffington Post Canada

'An explosive mixture of dread, greed and corruption. You won’t put it down until you’ve read the very last page.'--Cosmopolitan Brazil

Praise for Patricia Melo:

‘Melo (The Killer and In Praise of Lies) is a promising literary crime novelist, one of a new crop of Brazilian suspense writers that includes Rubem Fonseca. Melo keeps the tale oscillating between morbid intrigue and hilarity, deftly skewering the publishing industry in the process’ PW

‘The jolts that this Brazilian thriller delivers (The Killer) come not from the repeated instances of gore but from Maiquel's recurrent longing for basic human needs--love, salvation, a spiffy pair of shoes.’ New Yorker

‘Brazilian screenwriter and playwright Melo has combined the anomie of Quentin Tarantino and her country's landscape to create a highly readable study of a killer for hire.’ Library Journal
'Casually brutal and utterly uncompromising, Lost World is nerve-shreddingly compelling from start to grizzly finish .”-- Observer

‘Very, very dark, Lost World is grimly compelling and superbly atmospheric read' –Guardian
