Sinopse

A novel by one of the most acclaimed authors of Brazilian literature Gunshots in the night and a crime: the circumstances surrounding the murder of Domitila, daughter of Colonel Chico Eugênio, inside the family farm in Catumbi, are mysterious. The investigation is led by Detective Tito Gualberto, the victim's cousin and a skilled capoeira practitioner, who will attempt to piece together the crime. Mussa's fiction, so real, finds its family history at the tip of the iceberg. The crime's many suspects are gradually revealed, drawing the reader into a whirlwind that confuses, imprisons, and unsettles. The Human Hypothesis is the fourth novel in the “Mythical Compendium of Rio de Janeiro”, a series of detective novels, one for each century of Rio de Janeiro’s history, already comprising The Throne of Queen Jinga, The First History of the World and The Lord on the Left Side. Masterfully utilizing the geographic landscape of 19th-century Rio and combining indigenous and African mythology to create a typically Brazilian mythical setting, Alberto Mussa proves his thesis that a city is not defined by the temperament of its people or its culture, but by the history of its crimes.
