Lost in Fuseta

From the Elbe to the Atlantic: Leander Lost's first case. The September light in the Algarve is breathtakingly beautiful. At Faro Airport, Sub-Inspector Rosado and her colleague Esteves welcome a lanky guy in a black suit and narrow leather tie: Leander Lost, a criminal commissioner from Hamburg, serving for a year with the Polícia Judiciária. A unique team-building experience begins as the Portuguese sub-inspectors realize that their new colleague from Germany is not only oddly dressed but also behaves strangely. Slowly, they begin to track down the murderer of a private detective, as well as the fact that Leander Lost's peculiarities are due to Asperger's syndrome – and that his island talents are extremely helpful in solving the case involving the shady dealings of a water supplier in the Algarve. With a keen sense of suspense, plenty of humor, local color, and an eye for psychological details, Gil Ribeiro has won the hearts of crime fiction readers.
